Photodynamic therapy of cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
HPB, 2008 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a local photochemical tumor treatment that consists of a photosensitizing agent in combination with laser irradiation of a distinct wavelength. In some case reports and small non-randomized pilot studies, PDT has proved feasible in patients with hilar bile duct cancer. Those studies showed an astonishing long survival time
