Excerpt

Over the past two decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has carved out a significant niche in clinical research. Often dubbed the “fourth modality,” following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, PDT operates on the principle of harnessing a photosensitizer drug’s synergy with specific wavelength light and tissue oxygen to treat tissue malignancies [1]. …
