Current cancer treatments often have serious side effects and involve surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative cancer treatment with the potential to reduce side effects. PDT requires a photosensitiser that is embedded in a tumour. The photosensitiser can then be excited by light of a specific wavelength and convert the tumour’s oxygen into biotoxic reactive oxygen species, which kills the tumour cells.
