Shown are cancer cells in culture from human connective tissue, illuminated by darkfield amplified contrast, at a magnification of 500x. These cells can be compared to normal cells in AV-8711-3168. Credit: Dr. Cecil Fox (photographer).

The photo shows the procedure of photodynamic therapy. In this therapy, patients are injected with a light-activated drug called a photosensitizer which makes cells in their body sensitive to light. The drug is selectively retained by cancer cells as compared with normal tissue. Doctors then use fiber-optic probes to expose the cancer to laser light. This activates the photosensitizer and produces a toxic reaction that destroys the tumor without irreparably damaging the surrounding normal cells There is a close-up of just the hands.
