Description

Photodynamic therapy system and method for tumor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photodynamic therapy, in particular to a photodynamic therapy system and a photodynamic therapy method for tumors.
Background
Photodynamic therapy of tumors is a method of treating tumors using photosensitizers and laser light sources of specific wavelengths. It combines photochemical and photothermal effects, and activates photosensitizers to induce cell injury and death, thereby achieving the purpose of treating tumor. The basic principle of photodynamic therapy is as follows: the patient first receives an injection of a particular photosensitizer. A photosensitizer is a specific drug or compound that has photosensitivity to a specific wavelength. Photosensitizers accumulate in tumor tissue or target tumor cells in vivo. A laser light source of a specific wavelength is irradiated to the tumor region at a certain time after the photosensitizer is injected. The laser light source activates the photosensitizer to bring it into an excited state, producing an active substance. The activated photosensitizer will interact with oxygen molecules to produce reactive oxygen molecules, such as singlet oxygen. Active oxygen molecules have strong oxidizing property, can damage cell membranes and damage internal structures of cells, and cause damage and death of tumor cells. In addition to photochemical effects, photodynamic therapy can also destroy tumor cells by photothermal effects. After activation, the photosensitizer may generate localized heat, raising the temperature of the tumor tissue, which in turn leads to apoptosis or necrosis. Photodynamic therapy has certain advantages such as topical treatment, selective action, non-invasive and fewer side effects. It can be used for treating various tumor types including superficial skin cancer, early lung cancer, head and neck tumor, etc.
