X-rays

Why can't they switch from laser to x-rays in their ongoing bladder cancer clinical trials instead of starting from scratch? I bet the results will be much better

There is a little thing called protocol. You can't change things on a whim unless the study is designed that way. Correct me if I am wrong.

"As TLD-1433 absorbs in green, red, and NIR light in a biological context, it is a versatile PDC, with the ability to adjust the tissue treatment depth by varying the treatment wavelength(s). TLD-1433 mediated PDT treatment of bladder carcinoma is performed with green light irradiation, ensuring only the superficial bladder layers are treated, thus preventing deep tissue or musculature damage
