Immunomodulatory effects of photodynamic therapy for skin cancer: Potential strategies to improve treatment efficacy and tolerability

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 3, Page 533-547, May/June 2026.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a nonscarring treatment modality that is widely used for skin cancers and early squamous precursor lesions. PDT was previously thought to work primarily by killing cancer cells directly (via apoptosis or necrosis). However, more recent work indicates that a significant mechanism for PDT is the stimulation of anti‐cancer ...
