PDT vs. Laser Therapy: Both treatments use light to target abnormal cells, but PDT combines the light with a photosensitizing agent, which can enhance its effectiveness. PDT is also less likely to cause scarring. Billing and Insurance Information At California Dermatology Care, we strive to make...
Photodynamic therapy is a two-stage process. First, a photosensitizer is administered to the patient, typically by injection, and accumulates in rapidly proliferating cells. Illumination with an appropriate-wavelength laser light constitutes the second stage of therapy. Tumor selectivity is achieved throug...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be applied to lung cancer tumors with curative intent and palliative intent to improve symptoms. PDT can be used as solo therapy or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or standard radiation therapy. The primary indications are for obstructive disease and symptom...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the therapeutic combination of a photosensitiser administered to the patient and its activation by light. This combination generates the formation of highly reactive oxygen intermediates which cause irreversible tissue injury and necrosis. Oxygen must be present in the...
Photodynamic therapy can be performed in out-patient or inpatient settings. Photodynamic therapy is more economical than radiation therapy and surgical therapy for cancer patients. Less invasive, no long-term side effects and can be repeated many times at the same site, i...

Four patients presented with cognitive deterioration at first recurrence and received best supportive care; no patient underwent open tumor resection. Fig. 2 Progression-free survival and overall survival were significantly longer in the interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) cohort compared to the ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) consists of a chemical reaction activated by light source that is used in the management of many skin diseases. The most extensively studied photosensitizing agents for PDT are 5-aminolevulinic and methyl aminolevulinate (MAL).
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly used in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, scant information is available about the impact of both patient- and lesion-related characteristics on the effectiveness of therapy. Therefore, on the basis of the current data, it...
