DESCRIPTION

Photoimmunotherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that combines phototherapy with immunotherapy to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. In photoimmunotherapy, a photosensitizer or nanomaterial is introduced into the tumor tissue, and upon exposure to light of a specific wavelength, it triggers a localized therapeutic response.
