Advancing bladder cancer treatment with a wirelessly powered light device (IMAGE)

The research group led by Prof. David Flynn and Dr Rolan Mansour at the University of Glasgow is developing innovative technologies to improve medical treatment delivery, particularly for bladder cancer. Their latest study presents a small, flexible, wirelessly powered device designed to support photodynamic therapy (PDT). By delivering light directly to treatment sites inside the body, the device addresses a key limitation of PDT—insufficient light penetration—potentially improving treatment precision and effectiveness. Tests confirmed successful wireless power transfer and therapeutic light generation. This work highlights the team's commitment to creating minimally invasive technologies that could make future treatments safer, more efficient, and better suited for clinical use.
