In order to be successful in personalizing treatment, methods for selecting patients as well as good surrogate biomarkers for monitoring the effects of treatment are required in addition to development of an efficacious targeted therapy. We have developed a polymerized nanoparticle platform technolo
## Abstract Malignant gliomas are relatively uncommon but lethal cancers. Despite recent research efforts in cancer therapy, the prognosis of patients with malignant gliomas has remained dismal. Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of glioma may lead to a rational development of new therapies.
## Abstract The elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis of a disease in animal models provides candidate targets for treatment. As specific antagonists for a target are developed and tested in clinical trials, if benefit is achieved, the candidate becomes a validated target. Validated targets sti
Photodynamic therapy, employing either hematoporphyrin derivative or dihematoporphyrin ether as the photosensitizer and an argon-pumped tunable dye laser as the activating light source, was used to treat ten patients who had primary or recurrent basal or squamous cell carcinoma or infiltrating ducta
