Abstract
Ovarian cancer is among the deadliest in women. Current treatment strategies fail to cure many patients owing to the difficulties of eradicating peritoneal implants frequently associated with this pathology. Photodynamic therapy represents a promising treatment as it offers many advantages over alternative strategies: diagnostic properties, specific targeting of abnormal cells, possibility to be combined with other therapies.
