Thank you for your comment. While this is exciting news, this approach is not conventional or available as standard therapy. It’s presently being studied in an early phase clinical trial. NCI researchers are hopeful that the trial will provide more definitive information on the promise of this new treatment approach.
what about infrared light on breast tissue without taking the conjugate? sounds like it might be of use in general. i know infra red light helps build collagen and rejuvenates skin.
Why people dont know about this since 2016? 21,892 Views and the latest PoP song has million views on youtube.. Please Share usefull information and innovative technology.. Its just more important Peace
Hello, in 2020 a device and drug combination based on photoimmunotherapy development that was led by Dr. Kobayashi was granted approval by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan for the treatment of unresectable locally advanced or locally recurrent head and neck cancer. Approval of this same type of photoimmunotherapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will depend on the results of a larger phase 3 trial. You can read more about this at ccr.cancer.gov/news/article/japan-approves-photoimmunotherapy-for-head-and-neck-cancer. You may also wish to explore PubMed®, a free search tool of the National Library of Medicine, to search for journal articles with updates on photoimmunotherapy at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ .

Can you please be more specific on what you would call a inoperable tumor? If the operation is of highly invasive surgery and is the only was to get to the tumor wouldn't that be inoperable? What kind of tumors could this treatment be used for? What is the prognosis of patients who have been treated with photo imunal therepy? Where in the US is it currently being used? What was the year that it started being used?
Hi Aaron, NCI’s resources refer to an inoperable tumor as a tumor that cannot be treated with surgery. In asking about the uses of photoimmunotherapy, there are currently four clinical trials in the US using this treatment approach. All trials are focused on either head and neck cancers or squamous cell skin cancers. You can view these trials here: clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=photoimmunotherapy&cntry=US&Search=Apply&recrs=a&age_v=&gndr=&type=&rslt=. You can learn more about the development of photoimmunotherapy in a blog post from 2016 at www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2016/photoimmunotherapy-cancer. Additional information about the recent approval of photoimmunotherapy in Japan can be view at ccr.cancer.gov/news/article/japan-approves-photoimmunotherapy-for-head-and-neck-cancer. Take care.

Hi I am little desperate my Father is diagnosed with cancer in neck is it possible to know if i can sign up or use Dr Kobayashi trial ..any info will be greatfull
Hello, We are sorry to learn of your father’s diagnosis. Dr. Kobayashi conducts laboratory and animal research but does not treat human patients. However, there is one clinical trial (research study involving humans) in the U.S. using photoimmunotherapy for recurrent (previously treated) head and neck cancer, which you can read about here: clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02422979?recrs=ab&cond=photoimmunotherapy&cntry=US&rank=1. Additional information on clinical trial participation is available in this link: www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials. We encourage you to discuss this information with your father’s doctor regarding how it relates to his specific situation. Take care.
Is this procedure available in either Detroit, Atlanta, or Chicago? My stepson has bladder cancer that has spread to his bones, and I'm hoping that this will help reverse these 2 conditions.
We are sorry to learn about your stepson’s cancer diagnosis. Photoimmunotherapy continues to be studied. Since this video was published, this treatment has been approved in Japan for head and neck cancers. You can learn more here: ccr.cancer.gov/news/article/japan-approves-photoimmunotherapy-for-head-and-neck-cancer.

This need to get Operation Warp Speed treatment like we did for Covid research. This video is 8 from years ago, surely more studies could have been done in that time, if it had proper funding and public support.

We are sorry to learn of your mother’s diagnosis. We encourage you to discuss your questions and concerns with her doctor. This video discusses photoimmunotherapy, which is a novel type of cancer immunotherapy that uses infrared light to activate rapid and selective killing of cancer cells. When the light is applied, the cells swell and then burst, causing the cancer cells to die. This is a new type of treatment still being studied in clinical trials, primarily for head and neck cancers. One limitation is that although near-infrared light does penetrate tissue, it cannot penetrate deeply, and would not be appropriate for all cancer types.

I believe Dr. Michael Weber in Germany has been doing this for some now...he and his clinic seems to be a leader in Photodynamic therapy.
This is so far the ONLY conventional cancer treatment that I would ever consider. All I know is, it cures back pain very well.
