Dynamic therapies, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), target tumor cells more effectively while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. At Alfa Cytology, we are at the forefront of innovative therapeutic strategies designed to improve treatment efficacy.
Breast cancer remains a significant health challenge globally, with high incidence and mortality rates among women. Traditional treatment modalities—surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy—often exhibit limitations, including systemic toxicity and drug resistance. Dynamic therapy development, particularly through innovative approaches like SDT and PDT, is emerging as a promising avenue to enhance therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects.

Dynamic therapy leverages the interaction between specific therapeutic agents and external energy sources, such as ultrasound or light, to activate these agents in targeted tissues. This method not only improves the precision of treatment delivery but also enhances the therapeutic index by localizing effects to tumor sites.
At Alfa Cytology, we specialize in the comprehensive development of dynamic therapies tailored for breast cancer treatment.
Chemodynamic Therapy Development for Breast Cancer
Studies have demonstrated that combining doxorubicin with ultrasound can significantly enhance its anti-tumor efficacy while reducing the required dosage. Our research and development services focus on optimizing these combinations, ensuring effective delivery systems and evaluating their pharmacological profiles.
Sonodynamic Therapy Development for Breast Cancer
Alfa Cytology specializes in the evaluation and development of sonosensitizers, focusing on their interaction with ultrasound parameters to maximize therapeutic outcomes. Preclinical models have demonstrated significant tumor suppression using SDT in combination with agents like protoporphyrin IX and other organic sensitizers.
Photodynamic Therapy Development for Breast Cancer
At Alfa Cytology, we offer extensive expertise in the development and optimization of photosensitizers, exploring various formulations and delivery methods to enhance their efficacy. Our preclinical studies assess the potency of different PDT agents against breast cancer cell lines, paving the way for clinical applications.
