Abstract
In the present review the authors analyzed the effectiveness of treatment of intraepithelial neoplasia I-II-III of the cervix (CIN), vulva (VIN) and vagina (VaIN) using photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT is a method based on exposure to light after preliminary introduction of a photosensitizer into the body with the formation of singlet oxygen, which has a cytotoxic effect. The results of research on the use of PDT with various photosensitizers in the complex of therapeutic measures in patients with CIN, VIN, VaIN are presented. These data on the effectiveness and safety of PDT, ease of use allow this medical technology to be attributed to one of the most promising areas in the treatment of pathological intraepithelial changes of the cervix, vulva and vagina. The presented information allows focusing the attention on the PDT method and informing doctors and researchers about the broad prospects for applying this treatment method in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
The main goal of the journal – to promote the development of Russian biomedical photonics and implementation of its advances into medical practice. The primary objectives: - Presentation of up-to-date results of scientific and in research and scientific and practical (clinical and experimental) activity in the field of biomedical photonics. - Development of united Russian media for integration of knowledge and experience of scientists and practitioners in this field. - Distribution of best practices in laser medicine to regions. - Keeping the clinicians informed about new methods and devices for laser medicine - Approval of investigations of Ph.D candidates and applicants.
