Theranostic-PDT with the antibody anti isoform 4 SOD mitocondrial labeled with PpIX in the lung cancer cell line A-549

Due to its metastatic potential and high mortality rate, the lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world with more than 900,000 cases reported annually [1]. This cancer is generally divided into two classes, namely the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC constitutes approximately 80 % of all lung cancers diagnosed and consists of two major subtypes, adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SQC).
