Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is emerging as a promising modality for cancer treatment. However, improving the tumor bioavailability and anti-hypoxia capability of sonosensitizers faces a big challenge. In this work, we present a tumor microenvironment (TME)-mediated nanomorphology transformation and oxygen (O2) self-production strategy to enhance the sonodynamic therapeutic efficacy of tumors. A smart probe Ce6-Leu@Mn2+ that consists of a glutathione (GSH) and leucine amino peptidase (LAP) dual-responsive unit, a 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) group, and a Mn2+-chelated Ce6 as sonosensitizer for tumor SDT was synthesized, and its SDT potential for liver tumor HepG2 in living mice was systematically studied. It was found that the probes could self-assemble into large nanoparticles in physiological condition and spontaneously transformed into small particles under the dual stimulation of GSH and LAP in TME resulting in enhanced tumor accumulation and deep penetration. More notably, Ce6-Leu@Mn2+ could convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide to O2, thereby alleviating the hypoxia and achieving effective SDT against hypoxic tumors under the excitation of ultrasound. We thus believe this smart TME-responsive probe may provide a noninvasive and efficient means for malignant tumor treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is emerging as a promising therapeutic modality for cancer treatment. However, how to improve the tumor bioavailability and anti-hypoxia capability of sonosensitizers remains a huge challenge. Herein, we rationally developed a theranostic probe Ce6-Leu@Mn2+ that can transform into small-size nanoparticles from initial large particles under the dual stimulation of LAP and GSH in tumor microenvironment (TME) resulting in enhanced tumor accumulation, deep tissue penetration as well as remarkable O2 self-production for enhanced sonodynamic therapy of human liver HepG2 tumor in living mice. This smart TME-responsive probe may provide a noninvasive and efficient means for hypoxic tumor treatment.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 47:104200. [PMID: 38723757 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used for the treatment of centrally-located early lung cancers (CLELCs) and is recommended for tumors ≤ 1.0 cm in diameter. We previously reported that PDT using talaporfin sodium, second-generation photosensitizer, for tumors > 1.0 cm but ≤ 2.0 cm in diameter was able to achieve a therapeutic outcome comparable to that of tumors with a diameter of ≤ 1.0 cm. However, the effectiveness of PDT using talaporfin sodium for tumors > 2.0 cm in diameter remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective analysis of cases in which PDT was performed for flat-type CLELCs with tumor diameters of > 2.0 cm. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed seven cases (eight lesions) with tumor diameters > 2.0 cm and no evidence of extracartilaginous invasion or lymph node metastasis. RESULTS All the patients underwent multiple PDT sessions. The PDT treatment results over the study period were partial response in one case (14.3 %), stable disease (SD) in three cases (42.9 %), and progressive disease (PD) in three cases (42.9 %). At the time of writing this report, five of seven cases (71.4 %) are still undergoing treatment. The duration of SD-the time from the start of treatment until the criteria for PD were met (SD or better maintained)-ranged from 7 to 52 months (mean, 25.3 months). CONCLUSIONS "Maintenance PDT" for CLELCs > 2.0 cm in diameter has the potential to inhibit tumor progression in the long term while maintaining quality of life, rather than simply aiming only for a quick radical cure.

Abstract
Due to the limitations of conventional cancer treatment methods, nanomedicine has appeared as a promising alternative, allowing improved drug targeting and decreased drug toxicity. In the development of cancer nanomedicines, among various nanoparticles (NPs), DNA nanostructures are more attractive because of their precisely controllable size, shape, excellent biocompatibility, programmability, biodegradability, and facile functionalization. Aptamers are introduced as single-stranded RNA or DNA molecules with recognize their corresponding targets. So, incorporating aptamers into DNA nanostructures led to influential vehicles for bioimaging and biosensing as well as targeted cancer therapy. In this review, the recent developments in the application of aptamer-based DNA origami and DNA nanostructures in advanced cancer treatment have been highlighted. Some of the main methods of cancer treatment are classified as chemo-, gene-, photodynamic- and combined therapy. Finally, the opportunities and problems for targeted DNA aptamer-based nanocarriers for medicinal applications have also been discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative approach to treating tumors that utilizes photochemical reactions between a photosensitizer and laser irradiation for the generation of reactive oxygen species. Currently, natural photosensitive compounds are being promised to replace synthetic photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy because of their low toxicity, lesser side effects, and high solubility in water. Therefore, the present study investigated the anti-cancer efficacy of chlorophyllin-assisted photodynamic therapy on human cervical cancer by inducing apoptotic response through oxidative stress. The chlorophyllin-assisted photodynamic therapy significantly induced cytotoxicity, and the optimal conditions were determined based on the results, including laser irradiation time, laser power density, and chlorophyllin concentration. In addition, reactive oxygen species generation and Annexin V expression level were detected on the photodynamic reaction-treated HeLa cells under the optimized conditions to evaluate apoptosis using a fluorescence microscope. In the Western blotting analysis, the photodynamic therapy group showed the increased protein expression level of the cleaved caspase 8, caspase 9, Bax, and cytochrome C, and the suppressed protein expression level of Bcl-2, pro-caspase 8, and pro-caspase 9. Moreover, the proposed photodynamic therapy downregulated the phosphorylation of AKT1 in the HeLa cells. Therefore, our results suggest that the chlorophyllin-assisted photodynamic therapy has potential as an antitumor therapy for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Up to 30% of lung cancer patients suffer from central airway obstruction, resulting in major deterioration in prognosis and quality of life. Interventional bronchoscopy combines a number of invasive techniques used during rigid bronchoscopy. It is designed to rapidly improve symptoms, primarily dyspnea. Applied according to very precise indications, this technique requires careful patient selection and needs to be incorporated into the multimodal oncological management in combination with systemic treatments, radiation therapy and surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS/AIM Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with Talaporfin sodium (Talaporfin) is an effective and safe treatment for central-type early-stage lung cancer (CELC) that is associated with less skin photosensitivity. However, PDT is mostly performed in hospital for the purpose of light shading management in Japan. It is expected that it will be possible to perform PDT with Talaporfin (Talaporfin-PDT) as a day treatment with ≥14 days of shading management at home. This study aimed to confirm the safety of Talaporfin-PDT as day treatment. METHODS We retrospectively investigated the occurrence of adverse events among consecutive patients who received PDT for CELC in a day treatment setting in the Respiratory Endoscopy Division of our institution between January 2010 and February 2020. RESULTS A total of 12 patients (16 treatments) received day treatment of Talaporfin-PDT. Among the 12 patients, one patient (one treatment) was followed at another hospital. No severe adverse events after treatment were observed among the remaining 11 patients (15 treatments). Mild photosensitivity on a photosensitivity test was observed in 3 (3 treatments) of the 11 patients (15 treatments) but no major photosensitivity was observed. This photosensitivity was a temporary reaction. CONCLUSION Talaporfin-PDT for CELC was safely performed as a day treatment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We analyzed mortality (all-cause and lung cancer-specific) and time to follow-up treatment in stage I and II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) compared with ablation therapy and radiation therapy.From Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare linked data, patients diagnosed with stage I and II NSCLC between 2000 and 2015 were identified. Outcomes were mortality (overall and lung cancer-specific) and time to follow-up treatment. We analyzed mortality using Cox proportional hazard models. We used generalized linear model to assess time to follow-up treatment (PDT and ablation groups). Models were adjusted for inverse probability weighted propensity score.Of 495,441 NSCLC patients, 56 with stage I and II disease received PDT (mono or multi-modal), 477 received ablation (mono or multi-modal), and 14,178 received radiation therapy alone. None from PDT group had metastatic disease (M0) and 70% had no nodal involvement (N0). Compared with radiation therapy alone, PDT therapy was associated with lower hazard of overall (hazard ratio = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.39-0.80), and lung cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratio = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.43-0.97). Unadjusted mean time to follow-up treatment was 70days (standard deviation = 146) for PDT group and 67 days (standard deviation = 174) for ablation group. Compared with ablation, PDT was associated with an average increase of 125days to follow-up treatment (P = .11).Among stage I and II NSCLC patients, PDT was associated with improved survival, compared with radiation alone; and longer time to follow-up treatment compared with ablation. Currently, PDT is offered in various combinations with surgery and radiation. Larger studies can investigate the efficacy and effectiveness of these combinations.

Abstract
The paper presents steady-state and time-resolved experiments on photophysical processes associated with photodynamic inactivation of infections provided by nebulization of Radachlorin photosensitizer solution. As models of surfaces subjected to photodynamic inactivation we used glass, plant leaf, mushroom cap peel and superficial fascia of chicken and salmon skin flaps. The oxygen content in the photosensitizer solution was varied by blowing with atmospheric air and with pure oxygen. It was shown that singlet oxygen was generated efficiently in the aerosol jet and that its amount increased noticeably at higher oxygen concentrations. The kinetics of photosensitizer photobleaching on different surfaces were found to be significantly different with characteristic decay times varying from seconds for leaf and glass to minutes for fascial flaps. This observation was attributed to much faster oxygen depletion on rough crumbly surfaces of biological samples due to effective oxidation reactions occurred. The singlet oxygen generation and degradation times, and the relative quantum yield were determined on different surfaces by recording time-resolved phosphorescence at about 1270 nm under normoxic and hyperoxic conditions and analyzed on the basis of the set of master equations. The results obtained provide reference marks for choosing optimal irradiation durations for photodynamic inactivation of pathogenic infectious agents (bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, viruses) on mucous membranes, including the tracheobronchial tree.

Abstract
Developing intelligent and morphology-transformable nanomaterials that can spatiotemporally undergo stimulus-responsive size transformation holds great promise for improving the tumor delivery efficiency of drugs in vivo. Here, we report a smart size-transformable theranostic probe Ce6-Leu consisting of a leucine amino peptidase (LAP) and glutathione (GSH) dual-responsive moiety, an 1,2-aminothiol group, and a clinically used photosensitizer Ce6. This probe tends to self-assemble into uniform nanoparticles with an initial size of ∼80 nm in aqueous solution owing to the amphiphilic feature. Surprisingly, taking advantage of the biocompatible CBT-Cys condensation reaction, the large nanoprobes can be transformed into tiny nanoparticles (∼23 nm) under the joint action of LAP and GSH in a tumor microenvironment, endowing them with great tumor accumulation and deep tissue penetration. Concomitantly, this LAP/GSH-driven disassembly and size shrinkage of Ce6-Leu can also activate the fluorescence/magnetic resonance signals and the photodynamic effect for enhanced multimodal imaging-guided photodynamic therapy of human liver HepG2 tumors in vivo. More excitingly, the Mn2+-chelating probe (Ce6-Leu@Mn2+) was demonstrated to have the capability to catalyze endogenous H2O2 to persistently release O2 at the hypoxic tumor site, as a consequence improving the oxygen supply to boost the radiotherapy effect. We thus believe that this LAP/GSH-driven size-transformable nanosystem would offer a novel advanced technology to improve the drug delivery efficiency for achieving precise tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Photodynamic therapy for primary tracheobronchial malignancy in Northwestern China. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 37:102701. [PMID: 34954091 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2021] [Revised: 12/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been increasingly performed to treat tracheobronchial malignancy. However, the experience in tracheobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and peripheral lung cancer is still insufficient. This study aimed to share the experience of PDT for patients with primary tracheobronchial malignancy, especially the adenoid cystic carcinoma and peripheral lung cancer, and evaluated the efficacy and safety of PDT in Northwestern Chinese patients. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 23 patients with primary tracheobronchial malignancy receiving PDT in our center. The short-term effect was evaluated by the objective tumor response and the clinical response. The long-term effect was estimated by recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Of 23 patients, SR was achieved in 18 patients and MR in 3 patients. The clinical symptoms and the quality of life were significantly improved after PDT (P<0.05). And the mean RFS was 8.9 ± 1.9 months. SR for 6 cases of ACC were achieved with significant improvement of clinical symptoms and quality of life. No procedure-related complications appeared. And PDT was successfully performed for the peripheral lung cancer with the guidance of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that PDT achieved satisfactory efficacy and safety for Northwestern Chinese patients with primary tracheobronchial malignancy. Patients with ACC can benefit from PDT. And ENB-guided PDT is a novel and available option for the peripheral lung cancer. In short, this study accumulated valuable experience for the application of PDT in Chinese patients with primary tracheobronchial malignancy.

Abstract
Despite the numerous available treatments for cancer, many patients succumb to side effects and reoccurrence. Zinc oxide (ZnO) quantum dots (QDs) are inexpensive inorganic nanomaterials with potential applications in photodynamic therapy. To verify the photoluminescence of ZnO QDs and determine their inhibitory effect on tumors, we synthesized and characterized ZnO QDs modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone. The photoluminescent properties and reactive oxygen species levels of these ZnO/PVP QDs were also measured. Finally, in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to test their photodynamic therapeutic effects in SW480 cancer cells and female nude mice. Our results indicate that the ZnO QDs had good photoluminescence and exerted an obvious inhibitory effect on SW480 tumor cells. These findings illustrate the potential applications of ZnO QDs in the fields of photoluminescence and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Among the different types of cancers, lung cancer is considered to be the leading cause of death related to cancer and the most commonly diagnosed form of such disease. Chemotherapy remains a dominant treatment modality for many types of cancers at different stages. However, in many cases, cancer cells develop drug resistance and become nonresponsive to chemotherapy, thus, necessitating the exploration of alternative and /or complementary treatment modalities. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has emerged as an effective treatment modality for various malignant neoplasia and tumors. In PDT, the photochemical interaction of light, Photosensitizer (PS) and molecular oxygen produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which induces cell death. Combination therapy, by using PDT and chemotherapy, can promote synergistic effect against this fatal disease with the elimination of drug resistance, and enhancement of the efficacy of cancer eradication. In this review, we give an overview of chemotherapeutic modalities, PDT, and the different types of drugs associated with each therapy. Furthermore, we also explored the combined use of chemotherapy and PDT in the course of lung cancer treatment and how this approach could be the last resort for thousands of patients that have been diagnosed by this fatal disease.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an endobronchial treatment requiring a photosensitizer activated by a specific wavelength light to kill tumor cells. PDT is effective in treating early central lung cancer (ECLC) ,especially for lesions <1.0 cm in length. We present a patient with history of two lung resections for squamous cell carcinoma, who had unresectable ECLC lesions (4.0 - 5.0 cm in length) treated by PDTs successfully without other modalities, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy. After sequential PDTs, the patient achieved complete response for 2 months and partial response for 16 months, with greatly improved quality of life, despite mild skin photosensitization and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There was no evidence of metastasis during standard evaluation. As it was less-invasive and highly targeted, PDT might be a relatively safe and effective alternative therapy for ECLC lesions unsuitable for surgery, even lesions longer than 1.0 cm.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which are growing at a frightening rate worldwide, has put the world on a long-standing alert. The COVID-19 health crisis reinforced the pressing need to address a fast-developing pandemic. To mitigate these health emergencies and prevent economic collapse, cheap, practical, and easily applicable infection control techniques are essential worldwide. Application of light in the form of photodynamic action on microorganisms and viruses has been growing and is now successfully applied in several areas. The efficacy of this approach has been demonstrated in the fight against viruses, prompting additional efforts to advance the technique, including safety use protocols. In particular, its application to suppress respiratory tract infections and to provide decontamination of fluids, such as blood plasma and others, can become an inexpensive alternative strategy in the fight against viral and bacterial infections. Diverse early treatment methods based on photodynamic action enable an accelerated response to emerging threats prior to the availability of preventative drugs. In this review, we evaluate a vast number of photodynamic demonstrations and first-principle proofs carried out on viral control, revealing its potential and encouraging its rapid development toward safe clinical practice. This review highlights the main research trends and, as a futuristic exercise, anticipates potential situations where photodynamic treatment can provide a readily available solution.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of radiomic features on classifying histological subtypes of central lung cancer in contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) images. Materials and Methods A total of 200 patients with radiologically defined central lung cancer were recruited. All patients underwent dual-phase chest CECT, and the histological subtypes (adenocarcinoma (ADC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC)) were confirmed by histopathological samples. 107 features were used in five machine learning classifiers to perform the predictive analysis among three subtypes. Models were trained and validated in two conditions: using radiomic features alone, and combining clinical features with radiomic features. The performance of the classification models was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results The highest AUCs in classifying ADC vs. SCC, ADC vs. SCLC, and SCC vs. SCLC were 0.879, 0.836, 0.783, respectively by using only radiomic features in a feedforward neural network. Conclusion Our study indicates that radiomic features based on the CECT images might be a promising tool for noninvasive prediction of histological subtypes in central lung cancer and the neural network classifier might be well-suited to this task.

Abstract
Simple Summary The association between photodynamic therapy (PDT) and mortality in lung cancer patients remains unclear. We studied the association between PDT and mortality in patients with stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) between 2004 and 2016. From the NCDB, we identified patients whose treatment code was ablation (including PDT). From Medicare and Medicaid data between 2000 and 2013, we identified NSCLC patients receiving PDT and used these to confirm PDT treatment. We assessed the association between PDT and mortality. Study groups consisted of 147 patients with PDT + radiation + chemotherapy, 227,629 with radiation + chemotherapy, 106,667 with radiation therapy alone and 122,193 with chemotherapy alone. Compared to the radiation alone group, the PDT group and radiation with chemotherapy group had lower risk of mortality (50% and 53% lower, respectively). Among the NSCLC patients with stage III or stage IV disease not eligible for surgery, the addition of PDT to chemotherapy and radiation therapy offers survival benefit over radiation therapy alone. Abstract Data regarding the association between photodynamic therapy (PDT) and mortality in lung cancer patients are limited. We analyzed the association between PDT and mortality in patients with stage III or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) between 2004 and 2016. From the NCDB, we identified patients receiving laser ablation/cryosurgery or local tumor destruction/excision (which includes PDT). From Medicare and Medicaid claims between 2000 and 2013, we identified NSCLC patients receiving PDT and those receiving bronchoscopy, then used these to confirm the PDT treatment. From NCDB, we extracted NSCLC patients who received radiation with chemotherapy, radiation alone or chemotherapy alone. We used survival analysis to determine the association between PDT and mortality. Between 2004 and 2016, 457,556 NSCLC patients with stage III or stage IV were identified, of which 147 received PDT with radiation and chemotherapy, 227,629 received radiation with chemotherapy, 106,667 had radiation therapy alone and 122,193 received chemotherapy alone. Compared to the radiation alone group, the PDT group and radiation with chemotherapy group had lower hazard of mortality (50% and 53% lower, respectively). Among the NSCLC patients with stage III or stage IV disease, the addition of PDT to radiation therapy offers survival benefit over radiation therapy alone.

Abstract
Patients with unresectable lung cancer range from those with early-stage or pre-invasive disease with comorbidities that preclude surgery to those with advanced stage disease in whom surgery is contraindicated. In such cases, a multidisciplinary approach to treatment is warranted, and may involve medical specialties including medical oncology, radiation oncology and interventional pulmonology. In this article we review bronchoscopic approaches to surgically unresectable lung cancer, including photodynamic therapy, brachytherapy, endoscopic ablation techniques and airway stenting. Current and past literature is reviewed to provide an overview of the topic, including a highlight of potential emerging approaches.

Abstract
: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant form of primary brain tumour with extremely poor prognosis. The current standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM includes maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The introduction of this protocol has improved overall survival, however recurrence is essentially inevitable. The key reason for that is that the surgical treatment fails to eradicate GBM cells completely, and adjacent parenchyma remains infiltrated by scattered GBM cells which become the source of recurrence. This stimulates interest to any supplementary methods which could help to destroy residual GBM cells and fight the infiltration. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on photo-toxic effects induced by specific molecules (photosensitisers) upon absorption of photons from a light source. Such toxic effects are not specific to a particular molecular fingerprint of GBM, but rather depend on selective accumulation of the photosensitiser inside tumour cells or, perhaps their greater sensitivity to the effects, triggered by light. This gives hope that it might be possible to preferentially damage infiltrating GBM cells within the areas which cannot be surgically removed and further improve the chances of survival if an efficient photosensitiser and hardware for light delivery into the brain tissue are developed. So far, clinical trials with PDT were performed with one specific type of photosensitiser, protoporphyrin IX, which tends to accumulate in the cytoplasm of the GBM cells. In this review we discuss the idea that other types of molecules which build up in mitochondria could be explored as photosensitisers and used for PDT of these aggressive brain tumours.

Abstract
Postobstructive pneumonia can complicate lung cancer, particularly in more advanced stages of the disease, producing significant clinical decline and a poorer prognosis. It can lead to complications such as empyema, lung abscess and fistula formation. Postobstructive pneumonia can also be the first manifestation of an underlying malignancy. There are multiple challenges in the management of these patients. Recognition and treatment of this entity can be complex and includes the use of imaging, administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover the wide variety of microorganisms involved and the use of different interventional modalities to relieve the obstruction. Existing literature on postobstructive pneumonia is scarce. In this article, we review the pathophysiology, different diagnostic methods and the therapeutic options to treat this condition. The utility and efficacy of the various modalities that are currently available in clinical practice to the interventional pulmonologist are described in some detail.

Aptamer-assisted superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as multifunctional drug delivery platform for chemo-photodynamic combination therapy. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) were widely employed as targeted drug delivery platform due to their unique magnetic property and effortless surface modification. However, the lack of targeting accuracy has been a big obstacle for SPION used in precise medicine. Herein, the tumor-targeting of SPION was enhanced by the conjugation of an aptamer-hybridized nucleic acid structure. The aptamer modified on the surface of SPION was composed of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and a G-quadruplex DNA (AS1411) structure, which carried a chemical anticancer drug, daunomycin (DNM) and a photosensitizer molecule, namely 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra (phenyl-4-N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphyrin (TMPyP), respectively. The aptamer-dsDNA conjugated SPION nanocarriers (named Apt-S8@SPION) exhibited good stability in serum and nuclease DNase I. The drug-loaded nanocarriers (TMPyP&DNM&Apt-S8@SPION) have high cellular cytotoxicity to A549 and C26 cells which are represently nucleolin-overexpressing cancer cells. The nucleolin-blocking experiments unambiguously evidenced that the formed nanomedicine could target to the cell surface via the specific AS1411-nucleolin interaction, which increased the efficiency of cell uptake. Meanwhile, the TMPyP&DNM&Apt-S8@SPION nanospheres could produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species efficiently by irradiation of visible light for establishing a new type of PDT to cancer cells. Therefore, the designed TMPyP&DNM&Apt-S8@SPION nanoparticles have magnetic-aptamer dual targeting and combined chemo-photodynamic therapy, and thus were supposed to be ideal drug delivery vehicles with great potential in the era of precision medicine.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a minimally invasive anticancer therapy involving a chemical sonosensitizer and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). SDT enables the reduction of drug dose and HIFU irradiation power compared to those of conventional monotherapies. In our previous study, mouse models of colon and pancreatic cancer were used to confirm the effectiveness of SDT vs. drug-only or HIFU-only therapy. To validate its usefulness, we performed a clinical trial of SDT using an anticancer micelle (NC-6300) and our HIFU system in four pet dogs with spontaneous tumors, including chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, hepatocellular cancer, and prostate cancer. The fact that no adverse events were observed, suggests the usefulness of SDT.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of lung cancers. Our understanding of driver mutations and genotype directed therapy has revolutionized the management of advanced NSCLC. Commonly described mutations include mutations in epidermal growth factor (EGFR) & BRAF and translocations in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) & rat osteosarcoma (ROS1). Drugs directed against these translocations have significantly improved progression free survival individually and have shown a survival benefit when studied in the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (median survival 3.5 vs. 2.4 years compared to standard therapy). In a related yet parallel universe, the number of bronchoscopic ablative modalities available for management of cancer related airway obstruction have increased exponentially over the past decade. A wealth of literature has given us a better understanding of the technical aspects, benefits and risks associated with these procedures. While they all show benefits in terms of relieving airway obstruction, symptom control, quality of life and lung function testing, their complication rates vary based on the modality. The overall complication rate was ~4% in the AQuIRE registry. Bronchoscopic therapeutic modalities include rigid bronchoscopy with mechanical debulking, laser, thermo-coagulation [electrocautery & argon plasma coagulation (APC)], cryotherapy, endobronchial brachytherapy (EBT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), intratumoral chemotherapy (ITC) and transbronchial needle injection (TBNI) of chemotherapy. Intuitively, one would assume that the science of driver mutations would crisscross with the science of bronchoscopic ablation as they overlap in the same patient population. Sadly, this is not the case and there is a paucity of literature looking at these fields together. This results in several unanswered questions about the interplay between these two therapies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with a suitable photosensitizer molecule is a promising anticancer treatment. We evaluated two chlorin molecules as potential photosensitizers, methyl pyropheophorbide a (MPPa) and N-methoxyl purpurinimide (NMPi), against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro as well as in A549 tumor-bearing mice in vivo. Cell viability, microscopy, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analyses were performed for the in vitro studies. MPPa and NMPi showed high phototoxicity in vitro, which was dependent on the concentration of the photosensitizers as well as the light irradiation time. In the animal study, tumor volume change, tumor surface alterations, and hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) and terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferse-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) staining analyses were performed and compared between small (tumor volume of <50 mm3) and large (tumor volume of >50 mm3) size of initial tumors. MPPa and NMPi showed high anticancer efficacy against small-size tumors, indicating that early treatment with PDT is effective. Especially, repeated two times PDT with NMPi allowed almost complete eradication against small-size tumors. However, MPPa and NMPi were not effective against large-size tumors. In conclusion, the two chlorin derivatives, MPPa and NMPi, show good anticancer efficacy as promising photosensitizers for PDT in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, their activity in vivo was significantly dependent on the initial tumor size in mice, which confirms the importance of early cancer treatment.

Abstract
Of the many imaging technologies, some have the potential to be used in image-guided surgery and therapy (IGS/IGT). This review of relevant papers on IGS/IGT for lung cancer indicates effective localization and IGS/IGT in early endobronchial lesions by fluorescence bronchoscopic technique. Visualization of early peripheral (nodular) tumors at operation can be achieved by a variety of imaging methods and devices which allow identification, localization and provision of intraoperative real-time images. Recent developments employing fluorescence contrasts and near infra-red light have shown encouraging feasibility and outcome in providing reliable methods for the IGS of cancer generally and lung cancer more specifically with provision of real time intraoperative imaging. The concept of the hybrid operating theater is touched upon.

Abstract
Bronchoscopy plays a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. Hemoptysis, or central airway obstruction, is a common indication for interventional bronchoscopy. In addition, the treatment of early lung cancer is the domain of bronchoscopy in inoperable patients. In recent years, endoscopic techniques have also been established as new therapeutic options in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and uncontrolled bronchial asthma.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive type of lung cancer that shows an overall 5-year survival rate below 10%. Although chemotherapy using cisplatin has been proven effective in SCLC treatment, conventional dose of cisplatin causes adverse side effects. Photodynamic therapy, a form of non-ionizing radiation therapy, is increasingly used alone or in combination with other therapeutics in cancer treatment. Herein, we aimed to address whether low dose cisplatin combination with PDT can effectively induce SCLC cell death by using in vitro cultured human SCLC NCI-H446 cells and in vivo tumor xenograft model. We found that both cisplatin and PDT showed dose-dependent cytotoxic effects in NCI-H446 cells. Importantly, co-treatment with low dose cisplatin (1 μM) and PDT (1.25 J/cm2) synergistically inhibited cell viability and cell migration. We further showed that the combined therapy induced a higher level of intracellular ROS in cultured NCI-H446 cells. Moreover, the synergistic effect by cisplatin and PDT was recapitulated in tumor xenograft as revealed by a more robust increase in the staining of TUNEL (a marker of cell death) and decrease in tumor volume. Taken together, our findings suggest that low dose cisplatin combination with PDT can be an effective therapeutic modality in the treatment of SCLC patients.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established treatment modality for non-small cell lung cancer. Phototoxicity, the primary adverse event, is expected to be minimized with the introduction of new photosensitizers that have shown promising results in phase I and II clinical studies. Early-stage and superficial endobronchial lesions less than 1 cm in thickness can be effectively treated with external light sources. Thicker lesions and peripheral lesions may be amenable to interstitial PDT, where the light is delivered intratumorally. The addition of PDT to standard-of-care surgery and chemotherapy can improve survival and outcomes in patients with pleural disease. Intraoperative PDT has shown promise in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with pleural spread. Recent preclinical and clinical data suggest that PDT can increase antitumor immunity. Crosslinking of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 molecules is a reliable biomarker to quantify the photoreaction induced by PDT. Randomized studies are required to test the prognosis value of this biomarker, obtain approval for the new photosensitizers, and test the potential efficacy of interstitial and intraoperative PDT in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Interventional bronchoscopy has a predominant role in the management of both early and advanced-stage airway tumors. Given the very poor prognosis of lung cancer, there is a need for new tools to improve early detection and bronchoscopic treatment of endo-bronchial precancerous lesions. In more advanced stages, interventional bronchoscopy plays an important role, as nearly a third of lung cancers lead to proximal airway obstruction. This will cause great discomfort or even life-threatening symptoms related to local extension, such as dyspnea, post-obstructive pneumonia, and hemoptysis. Surgery for very locally advanced disease is only effective for a limited number of patients and the effects of conventional antitumor therapies, like radiation therapy or chemotherapy, are inconstant and are too delayed in a palliative context. In this review, we aim to provide pulmonologists with an exhaustive technical overview of (I) the bronchoscopic management of benign endobronchial lesions; (II) the bronchoscopic management of malignant tumors, including the curative treatment of localized lesions and palliative management of malignant proximal airway stenosis; and (III) descriptions of the emerging endoscopic techniques used to treat peripheral lung tumors.

Abstract
Tracheal or bronchial proximal stenoses occur as complications in 20-30% of lung cancers, resulting in a dramatic alteration in quality of life and poor prognosis. Bronchoscopic management of these obstructions is based on what are known as "thermal" techniques for intraluminal stenosis and/or placement of tracheal or bronchial prostheses for extrinsic compressions, leading to rapid symptom palliation in the vast majority of patients. This invasive treatment should only be used in cases of symptomatic obstructions and in the presence of viable bronchial tree and downstream parenchyma. This review aims to clarify 1) the available methods for assessing the characteristics of stenoses before treatment, 2) the various techniques available including their preferred indications, outcomes and complications, and 3) the integration of interventional bronchoscopy in the multidisciplinary management of proximal bronchial cancers and its synergistic effects with the other specific treatments (surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy).

Abstract
To increase the therapeutic efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treating lung cancer, we developed both photosensitizer and anticancer drug encapsulated hyaluronic acid-ceramide nanoparticles. Based on our previous study, a co-delivery system of photosensitizers and anticancer agents greatly improves the therapeutic effect of PDT. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid-ceramide-based nanoparticles are ideal targeting carriers for lung cancer. In vitro phototoxicity in A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma) cells and in vivo antitumor efficacy in A549 tumor-bearing mice treated with hypocrellin B (HB)-loaded nanoparticles (HB-NPs) or hypocrellin B and paclitaxel loaded nanoparticles (HB-P-NPs) were evaluated. Cell viability assay, microscopic analysis and FACS analysis were performed for the in vitro studies and HB-P-NPs showed enhanced phototoxicity compared with HB-NPs. In the animal study, the tumor volume change and the histological analysis was studied and the anticancer efficacy improved in the order of free HB<HB-NPs<HB-P-NPs. In conclusion, the combination therapy of PDT and chemotherapy, and hyaluronic acid-ceramide nanoparticle-based targeted delivery improved the effects of PDT in lung cancer in mice.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy has a role in the management of early and late thoracic malignancies. It can be used to facilitate minimally-invasive treatment of early endobronchial tumours and also to palliate obstructive and bleeding effects of advanced endobronchial tumours. Photodynamic therapy has been used as a means of downsizing tumours to allow for resection, as well as reducing the extent of resection necessary. It has also been used successfully for minimally-invasive management of local recurrences, which is especially valuable for patients who are not eligible for radiation therapy. Photodynamic therapy has also shown promising results in mesothelioma and pleural-based metastatic disease. As new generation photosensitizers are being developed and tested and methodological issues continue to be addressed, the role of photodynamic therapy in thoracic malignancies continues to evolve.

Abstract
Educational Aims Interventional bronchoscopy is a rapidly expanding field in respiratory medicine offering minimally invasive therapeutic and palliative procedures for all types of lung neoplasms. This field has progressed over the last couple of decades with the application of new technology. The HERMES European curriculum recommendations include interventional bronchoscopy skills in the modules of thoracic tumours and bronchoscopy [1]. However, interventional bronchoscopy is not available in all training centres and consequently, not all trainees will obtain experience unless they rotate to centres specifically offering such training. In this review, we give an overview of interventional bronchoscopic procedures used for the treatment and palliation of thoracic malignancy. These can be applied either with flexible or rigid bronchoscopy or a combination of both depending on the anatomical location of the tumour, the complexity of the case, bleeding risk, the operator’s expertise and preference as well as local availability. Specialised anaesthetic support and appropriately trained endoscopy staff are essential, allowing a multimodality approach to meet the high complexity of these cases. Interventional bronchoscopy is integral to the treatment and palliation of lung cancerhttp://ow.ly/R25w0

Clinical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has existed for over 30 years, and its scientific basis has been known and investigated for well over 100 years. The scientific foundation of PDT is solid and its application to cancer treatment for many common neoplastic lesions has been the subject of a huge number of clinical trials and observational studies. Yet its acceptance by many clinicians has suffered from its absence from the undergraduate and/or postgraduate education curricula of surgeons, physicians, and oncologists. Surgeons in a variety of specialties many with years of experience who are familiar with PDT bear witness in many thousands of publications to its safety and efficacy as well as to the unique role that it can play in the treatment of cancer with its targeting precision, its lack of collateral damage to healthy structures surrounding the treated lesions, and its usage within minimal access therapy. PDT is closely related to the fluorescence phenomenon used in photodiagnosis. This review aspires both to inform and to present the clinical aspect of PDT as seen by a surgeon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE New phenotypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on emphysema severity have been recognized recently. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between emphysema severity (phenotype) and lung cancer location in patients with COPD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four hundred patients with 405 primary lung cancers confirmed pathologically between January 2010 and March 2014 were included in the study. Of these, 193 patients received a diagnosis of COPD according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines. We scored emphysema severity (0-4) on thin-section CT and assigned the anatomic tumor location of lung cancer as peripheral or central. RESULTS Patients with COPD had a higher proportion of centrally located lung cancer compared with those without COPD (36.4% vs 17.4%; p < 0.001). In patients with COPD, lower emphysema grades (odds ratio [OR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.51-0.93; p = 0.016) and reduced ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.89-0.99; p = 0.024) were associated with central location. After adjusting for age, smoking, and spirometry results, the proportion of central location was approximately four times higher in patients with lower emphysema grades (0-2, < 25%) than in those with severe grades (grade 4, > 51%). CONCLUSION Lower emphysema grades and reduced FEV1/FVC seemed to be independent predictors of central location of lung cancer in COPD. Therefore, in patients with COPD with lower grade emphysema and airway-predominant disease, additional screening tools may have to be considered for central lung cancer detection along with thin-section CT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchial intraepithelial lesions may be precursors of central airway lung carcinomas. Identification and early treatment of these preinvasive lesions might prevent progression to invasive carcinoma. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature to develop evidence-based recommendations regarding the diagnosis and treatment of intraepithelial lesions. RESULTS The risk and timeline for progression of bronchial intraepithelial lesions to carcinoma in situ (CIS) or invasive carcinoma are not well understood. Multiple studies show that autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) is more sensitive that white light bronchoscopy (WLB) to identify these lesions. In patients with severe dysplasia or CIS in sputum cytology who have chest imaging studies showing no localizing abnormality, we suggest use of WLB; AFB may be used as an adjunct when available. Patients with known severe dysplasia or CIS of central airways should be followed with WLB or AFB, when available. WLB or AFB is also suggested for patients with early lung cancer who will undergo resection for delineation of tumor margins and assessment of synchronous lesions. However, AFB is not recommended prior to endobronchial therapy for CIS or early central lung cancer. Several endobronchial techniques are recommended for the treatment of patients with superficial limited mucosal lung cancer who are not candidates for resection. CONCLUSION Additional information is needed about the natural history and rate of progression of preinvasive central airway lesions. Patients with severe dysplasia or CIS may be treated endobronchially; however, it remains unclear if these therapies are associated with improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is increasingly being utilized to treat thoracic malignancies. For patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, photodynamic therapy is primarily employed as an endobronchial therapy to definitely treat endobronchial, roentgenographically occult, or synchronous primary carcinomas. As definitive monotherapy, photodynamic therapy is most effective in treating bronchoscopically visible lung cancers ≤1 cm with no extracartilaginous invasion. For patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer, photodynamic therapy can be used to palliate obstructing endobronchial lesions, as a component of definitive multi-modality therapy, or to increase operability or reduce the extent of operation required. A review of the available medical literature detailing all published studies utilizing photodynamic therapy to treat at least 10 patients with non-small cell lung cancer is performed, and treatment recommendations and summaries for photodynamic therapy applications are described.

Abstract
Selenium, an essential trace element possessing anti-carcinogenic properties, can induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Our goal was to investigate the enhanced antitumor effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) plus selenium in TC-1 tumor cells and implanted mice. Cell viability was evaluated at various time intervals after PDT treatment and/or selenium by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. When only PDT treatment was administered to TC-1 tumor cells, TC-1 cell growth recovered over time. On the other hand, co-treatment of PDT and selenium extended the inhibition time of tumor cell growth. Co-treatment of PDT and selenium showed serious morphological changes in TC-1 cells and induced a more apoptotic population by FACS analysis. By signal transduction pathway SuperArray analysis, genes closely involved in the NFκB, p53 and phopholipase C pathways, such as VCAM1, MDM2 and FOS, were significantly downregulated at least 10-fold in TC-1 cells following PDT and selenium cotreatment. In an in vivo study, tumor-bearing mice were intravenously injected with Radachlorin 3 h before irradiation with 300 J/cm2 of light. Selenium was administered daily for 20 days. Combination therapy against the mouse tumors generated by TC-1 cells was more effective than PDT or selenium alone. These data suggest that selenium plus PDT can induce a significant tumor suppression response compared with PDT alone. Additionally, it can be an effective anticancer therapy strategy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive form of treatment, which is clinically approved for the treatment of angiogenic disorders, including certain forms of cancer and neovascular eye diseases. Although the concept of PDT has existed for a long time now, it has never made a solid entrance into the clinical management of cancer. This is likely due to secondary tissue reactions, such as inflammation and neoangiogenesis. The recent development of clinically effective angiogenesis inhibitors has lead to the initiation of research on the combination of PDT with such angiostatic targeted therapies. Preclinical studies in this research field have shown promising results, causing a revival in the field of PDT. This review reports on the current research efforts on PDT and vascular targeted combination therapies. Different combination strategies with angiogenesis inhibition and vascular targeting approaches are discussed. In addition, the concept of increasing PDT selectivity by targeted delivery of photosensitizers is presented. Furthermore, the current insights on sequencing the therapy arms of such combinations will be discussed in light of vascular normalization induced by angiogenesis inhibition.

Abstract
Clinical PDT began in the early 1980s and lung cancer was one of the first indications for which the procedure was tried. Initially patients with advanced inoperable cancer and major bronchial obstruction were targeted with the objective of relief of airway obstruction and symptom palliation. In the past 30 years, assisted by progress in imaging methods and advances of technological developments, PDT indications have expanded to incorporate a multitude of lung cancer presentations which this review aims to display. Locally advanced and early stage endobronchial cancer continues to be the major indications albeit with a more precise diagnostic and guided illumination devices. Peripheral parenchymal disease has been a technical challenge but there is still ongoing development. Multifocal synchronous, recurrence and metachronous endobronchial disease following lung resection are now an up and coming indication with rewarding outcome. More importantly PDTs role within a multi-disciplinary assault on lung cancer is receiving acceptance.
