Description:
This session is directed at both potential and experienced users of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Using evidence-based approaches, current applications of topical PDT for non-melanoma skin cancer and precursors like actinic keratoses will be examined. Also inflammatory skin conditions, mainly acne vulgaris, and recent results for antimicrobial PDT will be discussed. The speakers will present treatment details and expected outcomes, and focus also on side effects and complications of PDT and how to cope with them.
