Photodynamic therapy

European Journal of Cancer, 1992
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been developed over the past decade into a useful treatment for several types of solid cancers in man. This unique therapy requires a photosensitiser accumulated in tumours and local activation by visible light generally delivered from lasers and delivered to the patient through various types of fibers and endoscopes.

Photodynamic therapy

Journal of Laser Applications, 1995
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment for solid tumors utilizing the combined action of light and a photosensitizing drug. Laser–fiber optic delivery systems make it practical to treat superficial and interstitial cancers, including malignancies of the skin, head and neck, esophagus, endobronchial tract, stomach, urinary bladder, female genital

Photodynamic therapy

Hospital Medicine, 2000
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a selective therapeutic approach involving uptake of a sensitizer by the target cells followed by their destruction on lightinduced activation of the chemical. Although the technique was discovered at the turn of the 20th century, its widespread use has awaited the development of suitable drugs and light sources (Brown ...

PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1985
Photodynamic therapy for treatment of malignant tumors uses certain porphyrins as relatively tumor-selective photosensitizers. A wide variety of tumors take up and retain these materials, which can result in complete eradication of the local tumor provided that light of the proper wavelength and sufficient dose is used.

Photodynamic Therapy

Advances in Dermatology, 2006
ALA-PDT is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective treatment for many dermatologic conditions. Current data most strongly support its use in the treatment of actinic damage, but further investigation into alternative uses continues. Current efficacy is limited primarily by the depth of penetration of the photosensitizing agent and the activating light ...

Photodynamic Therapy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2011
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical process that uses a photosensitizer drug activated by laser light to produce mucosal ablation. Porfimer sodium PDT has proved long-term efficacy and durability in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus and high-grade dysplasia and early esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Photodynamic Photorejuvenation

Dermatologic Surgery, 2002
The visible signs of photodamage are characterized by wrinkling, coarse skin texture, pigmentation alterations, telangiectases, and in some case actinic keratosis (AKs). Intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation has been shown to improve each of the different components of photodamaged skin except AKs.To present photodynamic therapy with topical 5 ...

Photodynamic Therapy

Dermatologic Clinics, 2014
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on the interaction between a photosensitizer, the appropriate wavelength, and oxygen to cause cell death. First introduced about 100 years ago, PDT has continued to evolve in dermatology into a safe and effective treatment option for several dermatologic conditions.

Photodynamic

British Journal of Urology, 1991
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative approach to the local ablation of malignant tumours. It has attracted a great deal of interest as a possible means of selectively destroying small cancers. The concept is simple:
