Photodynamic therapy is a modern, noninvasive treatment and diagnostic method used in dermatology for non - melanoma skincancer care. PDT is based on photodynamic reaction. It involves the activation of a photosensitizing drug by red light to producereactive oxygen species within target cells, resulting in their destruction. Recurrence rates are typically equivalent to other noninvasive(imiquimod, ingenol mebutate) and invasive (cryotherapy) therapies.
