Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating cell proliferation disorders 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; (2) administering at least one plasmonics-active agent to the subject, and (3) applying an initiation energy from an initiation energy source to the subject, wherein the plasmonics-active agent enhances or modifies the applied initiation energy, such that the enhanced or modified initiation energy activates the activatable pharmaceutical agent by the simultaneous two photon absorption event in situ, thus causing the predetermined cellular change to occur, wherein said predetermined cellular change treats the cell proliferation related disorder; and the use of plasmonics enhanced photospectral therapy (PEPST) and exiton-plasmon enhanced phototherapy (EPEP) in the treatment of various cell prolifer

Abstract: This invention discloses uses for estrone in preparing anti-ovarian cancer and/or breast cancer products. This invention provides uses for estrone in the preparation of products to treat ovarian cancer and/or breast cancer. From carrying out cancer drug repositioning for the FDA- and CFDA-approved drug estrone, experiments for this invention show, based on screening of non-anti-cancer drugs for various cancer cell lines (tissue types) and mutation sites, that estrone has a new use as an anti-ovarian cancer and/or anti-breast cancer medication, thus achieving a new purpose for an old drug.
