Abstract

PDT is an effective therapy in patients with recurrent gynecologic malignancies and limited treatment options. PDT is an alternative therapy that offers the possibility of complete response in select groups of patient populations. Specifically, it provides palliation for superficial recurrent lesions of skin, cervix, vagina and vulva, in the absence of distant disease.
