Molecular effects of topical photodynamic therapy in healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma

Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) elicits a therapeutic response in both non melanoma skin cancer and immune-mediated skin disorders. Production of reactive oxygen species may result in direct cell death; however PDT-induced inflammatory and immune responses may also contribute to the therapeutic e...
