Abstract
⺠Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a combination of photosensitizer and light to treat various cancers and precancers. ⺠Efforts to make PDT more effective have involved manipulation of the drug, light, oxygen, or tumor cell responsiveness. ⺠This review describes recent efforts to improve PDT efficacy through manipulations of tumor cell physiology. ⺠The current status of PDT for carcinoma of the skin, GU tract, GI tract, head/neck, lung, and prostate is also reviewed.
