Clinical Efficacy of HiPorfin Photodynamic Therapy for Advanced Obstructive Esophageal Cancer

Abstract

Photodynamic therapy is an effective method for advanced esophageal cancer. The side effects are mild, and the short-term effect is good, especially in the relief of dysphagia. Photodynamic therapy can prolong the survival of patients with advanced esophageal cancer, and the Karnofsky Performance Status score and previous radiation therapy have a significant effect on the overall survival.
