The invention discloses compounds and compositions for dual phototherapy
and combined therapy and diagnosis of tumors and other lesions. The
compounds have a Dye that, when photoactivated, operates via Type I
and/or Type II mechanisms. Other Dye or azide components may operate by
the same or different mechanisms. Selection of particular components in a
compound, and formulation of the compound(s) in a composition permit
different activation wavelengths to be used for different therapies. A
targeting moiety may be added to the compound or composition so that the
Dye locates at a particular site, such as a hormone-sensitive tumor, for
diagnosis and/or treatment. The compounds and compositions may be
incorporated within liposomes.
