Advancing Cancer Treatment: The Role of 3D Printing and Scanning Technology
Cancer treatment has made significant strides in recent years, thanks to technology advancements. One such advancement is the use of 3D printing and scanning technology. These technologies are enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of cancer treatments. This includes photodynamic therapy (PDT) for malignant pleural mesothelioma and other cancers. Understanding Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) PDT is a promising treatment for mesothelioma and other cancers. It involves the use of a photosensitizing agent that is activated by light to kill cancer cells. But, delivering the right dose of light to the tumor can be challenging, especially in cases where the anatomy has been altered by surgery. The Role of 3D Printing 3D printing has emerged as a valuable tool in cancer treatment planning….
