Abstract: Photodynamic therapies (PDT) have become increasingly popular in the adjuvant treatment of different tumor entities [1]. Chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin may be used in combination with laser-induced thermal therapy (LITT) in an improvement to PDT, known as laser photo chemotherapy (LPC) [1,2]. Based on recent reports on the application of laser photo chemotherapy (LPC) on malignant bone cells under chemotherapeutic conditions with cisplatin or zolendronic acid, the authors feel compelled to describe in this mini-review some relevant aspects of such combined therapy as a potential therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma [3].
