Abstract
A method for photodynamic therapy treatment of cancerous cells and tissue is provided. The method comprises administering tumor-trophic cells expressing a luminescent protein to a subject. A photosensitizing agent is then separately administered to the subject, followed by an optional iron chelator. On the day of treatment, a luminogenic substrate corresponding to the luminescent protein is administered to the subject. The substrate reacts with the luminescent protein in the vicinity of the cancerous tissue to produce light which activates the photosensitizing agent resulting in the selective destruction of the cancerous tissue.
