Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a targeted cancer treatment that uses light-sensitive medication and a specific light source to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
What Is Photodynamic Therapy?
Photodynamic Therapy involves administering a light-sensitive drug that accumulates in cancer cells. When exposed to a specific wavelength of light, the drug becomes activated and produces a reaction that destroys targeted cancer cells.
Applications of Photodynamic Therapy
1. Surface and Early-Stage Cancers
Used for certain early-stage or superficial cancers where light can be precisely delivered.
2. Precancerous Conditions
Effective in treating abnormal or precancerous cells before progression.
3. Symptom Control
Helps reduce tumor-related symptoms such as obstruction or bleeding in selected cases.
