Armenian scientists work on combining photodynamic and magnetic methods of cancer treatment. As reported by NEWS. am researcher at the institute Aram Manukyan, clinical trials are underway with the Rostov Cancer Research Institute and two centers in Germany - the Hannover Laser Center and the University of Duisburg-Essen.

The aim of the work is to combine the effects of photodynamic therapy and magnetic heating.. The first method “drives light-sensitive drugs (photosensitizers) into cancer cells. When fired with a laser, they start a photochemical reaction, releasing oxygen and free radicals that are detrimental to cancer cells, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35.. net The second method introduces nanosized particles with magnetic properties (for example, iron oxide) into the tumor. If after that you turn on the magnetic field and start swinging it strongly (changing direction several thousand times per second), then the magnetic particles will start to beat furiously, heating up to temperatures that are deadly for the tumor..

Armenian physicists are working to combine these two " “Research with Russian doctors has been underway for several months, German colleagues are participating in the development,” Manukyan added..
