Endoscopic Photodynamic Therapy: Clinical Aspects

  • Chapter
Laser Systems for Photobiology and Photomedicine

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 252))

Abstract

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a selective, experimental treatment for solid tumors. PDT consists of the activation of a photosensitizing agent by light. The photodynamic reaction induced by light causes damage to the tissue containing the photosensitizer in the presence of oxygen.
