Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Photomedicine

Background:

  • Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a proven treatment for superficial non-melanoma skin cancers.
  • Controlled studies on PDT for non-oncologic skin conditions are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the efficacy of PDT for various non-oncologic skin disorders.
  • To consolidate information on PDT applications beyond cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of controlled studies and clinical reports on PDT for non-oncologic skin conditions.
  • Analysis of PDT applications in inflammatory, pilosebaceous, infectious, sclerotic, and cosmetic dermatology.

Main Results:

  • PDT shows promise for treating various non-oncologic skin conditions.
