Abstract
Although in early stages of clinical development, photodynamic therapy (PDT) shows promise in delivering focal treatment of both primary and post-radiotherapy prostate cancer. This article will review the mechanism of action of PDT, previous research using PDT for treating prostate cancer including the development of newer vascular-acting photosensitizers, and the potential advantages and disadvantages of PDT in delivering focal therapy.Entities:
