New cancer therapy study findings have been reported from Fukuoka University, Department of Biochemistry

A report, "Sonodynamic therapy of cancer using a novel porphyrin derivative, DCPH-P-Na(I), which is devoid of photosensitivity," is newly published data in Cancer Science. In this recently published article, scientists in Fukuoka, Japan conducted a study "To improve the efficacy of sonodynamic therapy of cancer using photosensitizers, we developed a novel porphyrin derivative designated DCPH-P-Na(I) and investigated its photochemical characteristics and sonotoxicity on tumor cells. DCPH-P-Na(I) exhibited a minimum fluorescent emission by excitation with light, compared with a strong emission from ATX-70, which is known to reveal both photo-and sonotoxicity."
