Dermato-oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of malignant skin tumors. In recent years, one of the most effective treatments in dermato-oncology has become photodynamic therapy (PDT).
PDT is a treatment method in which a special photosensitive drug is used. This drug is introduced into the patient's body and is activated when exposed to light of a specific wavelength. This leads to the destruction of malignant cells.
The use of PDT in the treatment of dermato-oncology has a number of advantages. Firstly,
it is a non-invasive treatment method
that does not require surgical intervention and allows for the preservation of healthy tissues.
Secondly,
PDT can be effective even in severe forms of the disease
that are unresponsive to other treatment methods.
Thirdly,
PDT does not have side effects
that may occur with the use of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
The PDT procedure is carried out in several stages.
First, the patient is administered a photosensitizing agent,
which is distributed throughout the body and accumulates in malignant cells. Then, light radiation of a specific wavelength is applied to the affected area, which activates the drug and causes the destruction of malignant cells.
One of the most common applications of PDT in the treatment of dermato-oncology is the treatment of basal cell carcinoma - one of the most common forms of skin cancer. In some cases, PDT can also be effective in treating melanoma - a more aggressive form of skin cancer.
Thus,
ФДТ - is an effective and safe method for treating dermato-oncology, which allows preserving healthy tissues and avoiding side effects.
However, before undergoing ФДТ, it is necessary to consult a doctor and undergo all necessary examinations.
