| photodynamic therapy | reliability code: 10 term type: main entry term definition: investigational treatment involving the activation of a photosensitizer to destroy cancer cells. Patients are injected with a light-activated photosensitizer that makes their body sensitive to light. Since cancer cells retain the drug, fiber-optic probes are then used to expose the cancer to laser light and activate the photosensitizer. When it is activated, the photosensitizer produces a toxic reaction, destroying the tumor and causing relatively little harm to normal tissue. (en) number: singular part of speech: noun |

| fotoquimioterapia | reliability code: 8 term type: main entry term gender: feminine definition: tratamiento que consiste en la activación de un fotosensibilizador para destruir células cancerosas. Se le inyecta al paciente el fotosensibilizador, que hace que su cuerpo esté sensible a la luz. Puesto que las células cancerosas retienen este fármaco, se utilizan sondas de fibra óptica para exponer el cáncer al láser y así activar el fotosensibilizador, que, al activarse, produce una reacción tóxica que destruye el tumor, y a la vez minimiza el daño al tejido sano.
