Did you know, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative treatment that uses light-sensitive drugs and light to destroy cancer cells. This therapy is minimally invasive and can target specific areas, making it particularly effective for certain types of skin, lung, and esophageal cancers. By activating the photosensitizing agent with a specific wavelength of light, PDT produces reactive oxygen species that kill cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Moreover, photodynamic therapy is also being explored for treating infections and other non-cancerous conditions. Its precision and reduced side effects compared to traditional treatments make it a promising option in the medical field. As research advances, PDT could become a more widely used and effective tool in the fight against various diseases, offering hope for less invasive and more targeted treatment options.
