Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment using a photosensitizing drug and light to destroy malignant cells. The drug accumulates in cancer cells, then light activates it, causing oxidative stress and cell death. Commonly used for skin cancers and some types of esophageal or lung cancer.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in Croatia uses light-sensitive drugs and laser light to destroy precancerous cells and small tumors, often used for skin cancer and esophageal cancer. Patients have to abstain from sun exposure during treatment. Treatment may cause skin reaction, so sunscreen use is essential.
PDT is usually performed in a day-care setting. Croatian hospitals offer advanced technology and highly skilled professionals.
