Sonodynamic and Photodynamic Therapy in Advanced Breast Carcinoma: A Report of 3 Cases
Integrative Cancer Therapies , 10/13/09

Wang X et al. – Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established therapeutic method, first approved by the FDA for certain kinds of cancer in 1998. There are also increasing data to show that a related procedure, sonodynamic therapy (SDT), is a promising new modality for cancer treatment. Here, the authors report clinical results in 3 advanced refractory breast cancer patients who were treated using a combination of sonodynamic and photodynamic therapy (SPDT), along with conventional therapies. All patients had significant partial or complete responses. SPDT is a promising new therapeutic combination for the treatment of breast cancer.
