| Abstract: | Gynaecological photomedicine offers new diagnostic and therapeuticmethods based on the interaction of light with the reproductiveorgans. One example is photodynamic therapy (PDT) in which photosensitizersare applied systemically or topically for selective endometrialablation. Several studies describing the potential use of PDTfor this application are reviewed. Basic experimental and clinicalaspects of PDT, such as photosensitizer types, application modes,irradiation parameters, optical properties of tissues and photodegradationof photosensitizers are discussed. |
