Cytoluminescent Therapy - Definition and Overview

Cytoluminescent Therapy is a form of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) characterized by a photosensitiser (Photoflora) which is rapidly eliminated from normal tissue but selectively accumulated in neoplastic and dysplastic tissue. This is followed by whole body irradiation with light of the specific wave length which activates the photosensitiser. The result is selective damage or elimination of tumor cells while normal tissues are unharmed.
