PDT (Photodynamic Therapy)

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a treatment that uses a special drug called a photosensitizer, which is absorbed by abnormal or damaged cells. When exposed to a specific light source, the drug becomes active and produces a form of oxygen that destroys targeted cells. This technique is often used to treat certain cancers, precancerous conditions, and skin issues. PDT precisely targets affected areas, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, and is typically performed on an outpatient basis. It’s valued for its effectiveness and minimally invasive nature.
