  • Publication number: 20090104212
    Abstract: A method for treating a cell proliferation disorder in a subject, comprising: (1) administering to the subject at least one activatable pharmaceutical agent that is capable of activation by a simultaneous two photon absorption event and of effecting a predetermined cellular change when activated; and (2) applying an initiation energy from an initiation energy source to the subject, wherein the initiation energy is capable of penetrating completely through the subject, and wherein the applied initiation energy activates the activatable agent by the simultaneous two photon absorption event in situ, thus causing the predetermined cellular change to occur, wherein the predetermined cellular change treats the cell proliferation related disorder, and a kit for performing the method, a computer implemented system for performing the method, a pharmaceutical composition useful in the method and a method for causing an autovaccine effect in a subject using the method.

  • Publication number: 20080248001
    Abstract: Methods for the treatment of a cell proliferation disorder in a subject, involving: (1) administering to the subject at least one activatable pharmaceutical agent that is capable of effecting a predetermined cellular change when activated, either alone or in combination with at least one energy modulation agent; and (2) applying an initiation energy from an initiation energy source to the subject, wherein the applying activates the activatable agent in situ, thus causing the predetermined cellular change to occur, wherein the predetermined cellular change treats the cell proliferation disorder, preferably by causing an increase or decrease in rate of cell proliferation, and a kit for performing the method, a computer implemented system for performing the method, a pharmaceutical composition useful in the method and a method for causing an autovaccine effect in a subject using the method.
