Therapeutic Applications of Nitric Oxide in Cancer and Inflammatory Disorders: Third International Conference on Therapeutic Application of Nitric Oxide in Cancer and Inflammatory Disorders presents updated information on the chemistry, signaling of newly derived therapeutic nitric oxide donors/inhibitors, and their complexes in liposomes or nanospheres in both preclinical and clinical investigations.This book consists of the following: The program and abstracts presented at the Third International Conference in Udine, Italy, September 3-5, 2023; Parts I-V review on (I) the general properties of nitric oxide in diseases; (II) the role of nitric oxide in cancer; (III) nitric oxide and immunity; (IV) nitric oxide and aging; and (V) nitric oxide and therapeutics. In addition, part VI is an educational review on artificial intelligence and its application in diseases. These updated reviews present many examples of research investigations related to the application of novel therapeutic compounds on nitric oxide and new derivatives, as well as their significant therapeutic activities against various resistant cancers that are unresponsive to current treatments and in different inflammatory disorders.This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students, and investigators from medical and biomedical fields who want to learn more about NO and its therapeutic applications in cancer and inflammatory diseases. This book is also highly useful for both clinicians and oncologists as well as pharmaceutical companies involved in the development of new anticancer/antiinflammatory agents.Provides updated reviews on the chemistry, signaling of newly derived therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) donors/inhibitors and their complexes in liposomes or nanospheres in both preclinical and clinical activitiesDiscusses the application of NO in monotherapy or in combination with conventional therapies in a variety of cancers and inflammatory diseasesEncompasses real-world examples of recent research related to NO and cancer so that readers can adapt them for their own use

This volume provides a comprehensive review of resistance induced by photodynamic therapy (PDT) in tumor cells. Understanding the underlying mechanisms in this process leads to the improvement of therapeutic modality, in combination with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy. Photodynamic therapy is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure that can exert a selective or preferential cytotoxic activity toward malignant cells. The procedure involves administration of an intrinsically non-toxic photosensitizing agent (PS) followed by irradiation at a wavelength corresponding to a visible absorption band of the sensitizer. In the presence of oxygen, a series of events lead to direct tumor cell death, damage to the microvasculature, and induction of a local inflammatory reaction. Studies reveal that PDT can be curative, particularly in early stage tumors and this volume explores the potential of PDT, but also reveals strategic approaches to overcome resistance in tumor cells.
