[9p-M136-3] Tissue-adhesive light-emitting device for implantable photodynamic cancer therapy
Keywords:Photodynamic therapy, Implantable device, Polymer nanosheet
We developed a tissue-adhesive sheet-like optical device that can be secured onto the biological tissue surfaces for implantable photodynamic cancer therapy. Wirelessly powered LED chips were sealed with polydopamine-modified silicone rubber nanofims (~600 nm thick). The device was subcutaneously implanted in the intradermal tumor model mice. After administration of a photosensitizer into the mice, the implanted optical device locally irradiated the target tumors for 10 days, of which light intensity was 1,000-fold lower than conventional photodynamic therapy approaches, and demonstrated remarkable antitumor effect including complete disappearance of tumors.
