"Yes, we don't know which way Theralase is going to go with this. It seems that X-Rays by themselves can activate Rutherrin better than they can most photosensitizers. There has been work going on trying to improve X-PDT with nanoscintillators for more than 10 years, but this has been with inferior photosensitizers."
Until the use of nano scintillation is perfected & made practical, it seems that utilizing x-rays to activate Rutherrin (though not a perfect system) can be incorporated into a protocol that uses such activation not only as a preoperative/pre-NIR laser enhancement procedure, but perhaps can also be utilized as a postoperative/post-NIR laser option...further destroying any residual sensitized/weakened/normal cancer cells while further boosting the immune response. Just a thought...
