MODEL AND METHOD FOR INHIBITING ANGIOGENESIS USING PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY

摘要

The invention provides a method to inhibit the formation of neovasculaturewhile maintaining viability of the underlying tissue bysubjecting a subject in which angiogenesis is to be inhibited to sublethalphotodynamic therapy. The invention also provides a model forassessing sublethal PDT protocols to inhibit angiogenesis in particular targettissues.
