USE OF PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY TO ENHANCE TREATMENT WITH IMMUNO-MODULATING AGENTS

摘要

Methods of enhancing the efficacy and safety of treatment with immuno-modulating agents are provided. The inventive methods combine treatment with immuno-modulating agents with photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT can be administered before, during or after administration of the immuno-modulating agent. Combination therapy achieves at least the same efficacy as immuno-modulatory therapy in less time, with less immuno-modulating agent and fewer side-effects.
