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.

PGS (Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening) is a technique used in India to identify genetic disorders in embryos before implantation. It helps couples with a history of genetic disorders or recurrent miscarriages to have a healthy baby.
India has over 200 IVF clinics offering PGS, and the cost ranges from INR 1,50,000 to INR 3,00,000 (approx. $1,968 to $3,943). The waiting time is around 2-4 weeks.
