American Society of Clinical Oncology - Sonodynamic Therapy paper
A systematic review of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of precancerous skin conditions
In 1995 a paper was published looking at “Treatment of head and neck cancer with photodynamic therapy: results after one year”
Why doesn’t photodynamic therapy (PDT) cause any noticeable damage to human tissue?
