Photodynamic (PDT) therapy is a relatively new technique with unique properties that make it attractive for the local treatment of superficial epithelial disorders. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical response of PDT with the photosensitizing agent 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-AL
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives To determine the safety and efficacy of 5βaminolevulinic acid (ALA) as a topically applied photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). ## Study Designs/Materials and Methods Forty women, who were at least 18
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel treatment modality that produces local tissue necrosis with laser light after prior administration of a photosensitizing agent. We performed a study of topically applied 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in the photodynamic treatment of women with high-grade cervica
