In research conducted at UHN in March 2012, mice were injected with 350,000 colon cancer cells (mouse cell line CT26.CL25) to produce cancerous tumours that were allowed to grow to approximately five millimeters in size. These tumours were treated with an injection of one of Theralase’s lead PDCs and then illuminated by Near Infrared (“NIR”) light to activate the PDC. The vast majority of tumours were completely destroyed. These mice were closely monitored for 20 months post treatment, until November 2013, where they remained cancer free. … Read More
