When it comes to treating actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma, or other skin conditions caused by sun damage, patients are often presented with multiple options. Among these, Efudix (fluorouracil cream) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) are two commonly recommended treatments. But how do they compare, and why might PDT be considered a gentler alternative? Let’s explore the differences.
Photodynamic Therapy, commonly known as PDT, is a revolutionary new way to treat various skin conditions, including skin cancer. By utilising light in combination with a photosensitising agent, PDT offers a targeted approach to destroying damaged cells while preserving healthy skin.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment that uses a drug called a photosensitiser and a particular type of light to treat certain types of cancer. The drug is absorbed by cells all over the body but stays in cancer cells for a longer time.
At our clinic, we take immense pride in the professional expertise of our medical team. Today, we are excited to highlight the recent publication by one of our esteemed doctors, Dr. Chris Robinson, on advanced skin biopsy techniques.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapy that offers a unique approach to treating cancer by using photosensitising agents along with light to destroy malignant cells.
Skin cancer is a significant health concern, and advancements in treatment options continue to improve patient outcomes. One such innovative approach is Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), which has shown promising results in the treatment of skin cancer.
