Phototherapeutic technology could fight MM, other cancers

Dr Achilefu and his colleagues believe this phototherapeutic technology is less toxic than standard radiation and chemotherapy because the titanocene and FDG are targeted to the same place at the same time only in cancer cells.

The body rids itself of titanocene through the liver, while FDG is cleared through the kidneys. The fact that these components are disposed of separately minimizes damage to other organs. When separated, the components are not toxic, according to the researchers.
