Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses light-sensitive drugs called photosensitizers and laser or light sources to destroy cancer cells, particularly those in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, lung, esophagus, bladder, or head and neck. The photosensitizer is administered intravenously or topically, then activated by a specific wavelength of light, which generates reactive oxygen species that damage the cancer cells.
