Abstract

The World Health Organization recently reported that more than 60% of new cancer cases and 70% of deaths annually occur in low and middle income countries (LMICs). This disparity motivates the development of low-cost cancer treatment and imaging technologies that are specifically adapted for use in LMIC settings. We have developed and clinically validated technology to enable use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treatment of early-stage oral malignancy in India, which has been described as the “oral cancer capital of the world.” Here we discuss challenges and opportunities moving forward for broader implementation of this technology in India and beyond.
