This invention relates to oligonucleotide targeting agents and their use in the treatment of diseased cells by selective photochemotherapy (PCT). PCT is a method of treating human diseases and disorders, bacteriological indications and other pathological c ...
Head and neck (H&N) cancer patients have a high incidence of second primary tumors in the tracheobronchial tree. Diagnostic autofluorescence endoscopy (DAFE) has shown promising results in the detection of early neoplastic and pre-neoplastic changes in the ...
