Advantages of the PDT Method
over Surgical Treatment of Skin Cancer
PDT
Bloodless. The tumor dies and is gradually replaced by healthy tissues
Surgery
Risk of bleeding. Especially in areas of intensive blood supply
PDT
Collagen-preserving necrosis as a matrix for regeneration of the damaged area promotes independent healing of defects at the tumor site with a good aesthetic and functional result. Can be used for radical removal even in cases where surgical treatment is problematic
Surgery
The need to close the wound with skin flaps. With extended tumors, complex skin plastic surgery is required. There are significant restrictions on the maximum size of the tumor to be removed
PDT
Outpatient treatment, no hospitalization required
Surgery
Hospitalization required
PDT
Selective destruction of tumor cells is a gentle organ-preserving and tissue-preserving treatment. Possibility of fluorescent visualization of tumor boundaries
Surgery
Resection boundaries are determined at the surgeon’s discretion, which means risk of non-radical tumor excision or excessive trauma with disability
PDT
Possibility of application in areas inconvenient for surgical intervention (eyelids, nose, auricle, lip, penis, etc.)
Surgery
Resections on the eyelids, nose, auricle, lip, and penis lead to serious aesthetic and functional disorders
PDT
Easily tolerated even by elderly patients with concomitant diseases for whom surgical intervention is contraindicated
Surgery
Requires general anesthesia and there are contraindications for performing the surgery in elderly patients with concomitant diseases
PDT
Relapse is extremely rare and easily eliminated by repeated PDT
Surgery
Relapse often occurs throughout the entire resection plane, which excludes its successful elimination
Advantages of the PDT Method
over Radiation Treatment of Skin Cancer
PDT
Selective destruction of tumor cells, which has sparing effect on surrounding healthy tissues
Radiation
Radiation damage to healthy tissues in the projection of the rays, for example, radiation epitheliitis of the nasal mucosa, radiation damage to the optic nerves, atrophy of the cartilage of the nose or auricle, and aseptic necrosis of the bones
PDT
Possibility of repeated PDT in the same anatomical area if necessary
Radiation
Impossibility of repeated application of radiation in the same anatomical area due to fatal radiation damage to healthy tissues
PDT
Absence of mutagenic effect and long-term negative results
Radiation
Risk of formation of new (metachronous) tumors due to the mutagenic effect of radiation
PDT
Low probability of recurrence due to selective damage and fluorescent visualization of tumor boundaries
Radiation
High percentage of recurrence, since radiation fields are formed at the discretion of the doctor and may not coincide with the true boundaries of the tumor
PDT
For radical treatment, one session is enough
Radiation
Requires 12 or more sessions
