For the targeted treatment of localized prostate cancer, photodynamic therapy

Introduction
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment that combines photosensitizing agents, oxygen, and light to selectively destroy abnormal or cancerous cells. Originally developed for dermatological conditions, PDT has rapidly expanded into oncology, ophthalmology, and infectious diseases, offering a targeted therapy with fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy and radiation.

The rising prevalence of cancer, non-melanoma skin disorders, and antimicrobial resistance has made PDT an increasingly attractive therapeutic option. Over the next decade, the photodynamic therapy market is expected to experience robust growth, driven by technological advancements, new drug-device combinations, and increasing demand for non-invasive treatments.
