How Does Photodegradation Affect Cancer Treatment?
Photodegradation can impact the efficacy of certain cancer treatments, particularly those involving photosensitive drugs. For example, some chemotherapeutic agents and photodynamic therapy (PDT) drugs rely on light activation to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that kill cancer cells. However, if these drugs degrade too rapidly under light exposure, they may become less effective, necessitating careful management of light exposure during storage and administration.
