Résumé
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) management remains association of debulking surgery in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. Sixty percent of women with EOC considered in remission will develop recurrent disease. An option to improve the completion of cytoreductive surgery may be the use of photodynamic therapy to induce necrosis of peritoneal metastases. A limit of this technique was the toxicity induced by the lack of specificity of old-generation photosensitizer (PS) for tumor tissue if the light could not be specifically applied. To solve this problem, a solution is the design of selective PS. Folate receptor is a promising target for EOC targeted therapy. We present preclinical results concerning properties of a folic-acid targeted photosensitizer.
