Résumé
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment modality for cancers, with Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX)-based PDT being the most widely used to treat cancers in patients. However, PDT is limited to superficial, thin (few mm in depth) lesions that can be accessed by visible wavelength light. Interstitial light-delivery strategies have been developed to treat deep-seated lesions (i.e. prostate cancer). The most promising of these are X-ray-induced scintillation nanoparticles, which have shown potential benefits for PDT of deep-seated tumors. Herein, the design and use of a new nanoscintillator-based radiation-activated PDT (radioPDT) system is investigated in the treatment of deep-seated tumors. Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-block-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PEG-PLGA) nanospheres were loaded with a scintillator (LaF
