Die Idee ist einfach: Material in den Patienten infundieren, das sich dann in den Krebszellen befindet, und anschließend bei Bestrahlung mit rotem Licht die Krebszellen tötet, weil das Licht in den eingebrachten Chemikalien eine Reaktion auslöst.

PDT - Photodynamic Therapy Explained
PDT is an incredibly simple, quick and highly effective way to destroy target cells – often cancers but not exclusively.
PDT works by combining drug and light. There are several different drugs in use – all are based on chlorophyll and several still feature compounds originally extracted from plant life. One of the newest originates from deep-water seaweed.
When light of a specific wavelength combines with the drug in the target tissue, the reaction changes the oxygen molecule that feeds the cells. Without oxygen, cells rapidly die.
PDT is often able to destroy all the target cells with one treatment session, and the side effects are slight compared to those endured by patients having chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
