Mesothelioma Treatment: The Promise of 3D Printing Technology
New technologies offer hope for more effective treatments for malignant pleural mesothelioma. One such innovation is the use of 3D printing and optical scanning. These new technologies refine photodynamic therapy, a promising approach for mesothelioma management. Understanding Photodynamic Therapy Photodynamic therapy uses the power of light to target and destroy cancer cells. Activating a photosensitizer with light leads to the death of cancerous tissue. This therapy offers a targeted and less invasive option for treating mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is aggressive, often diagnosed late, and challenging to treat. Traditional approaches like surgery alone have limited success rates. Photodynamic therapy, when combined with surgery, shows promise in improving outcomes. But, accurately delivering the right dose of light to the affected area is crucial…
