Abstract

A method of selectively enhancing the effect of photothermal vascular targeting on tumor regression by administration of a bioreductive agent is disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of treating a tumor characterized by nutrient-providing blood vessels comprising 
 irradiating the tumor or nutrient providing blood vessels in the presence of a bioreductive agent,    providing an environment of hypoxia for the bioreductive agent, and    allowing the bioreductive agent to act as a cytotoxic agent in a manner to reduce tumor size.
