Advances in research on immune mechanism of photodynamic therapy for tumor

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective method for the treatment of cutaneous carcinoma, which can cause tumor cell death and apoptosis, and damage tumor-associated blood vessels. In recent years, the immune mechanism of PDT has also received attention. The tumor immune escape in tumorigenesis is an important factor. PDT therapy can induce tumor cells to express damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) by immunogenic cell death (ICD),...
