BMJ, 2009Promising results need to be followed by development of more selective drugs Photodynamic therapy uses visible light, molecular oxygen (normally present in most tissues at adequate concentration), and an otherwise innocuous drug to destroy tumours.1 All three components are needed for the cytotoxic effect.

Photodynamic Therapy for Cholangiocarcinoma
Seminars in Liver Disease, 2004The prognosis of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is limited by tumor spread along the biliary tree leading to refractory obstructive cholestasis, cholangitis, and liver failure. Palliation with biliary endoprostheses yields median survival times between 4 and 6 months for nonresectable CC.
