Abstract
In photodynamic therapy, a chemical photosensitizer is activated by light of a specific wavelength., Photodynamic therapy has been combined with bronchoscopy in patients who are ineligible for surgical resection in order to treat patients with early central lung cancer. Here, we describe 3 patients with early central lung cancer who were treated effectively using photodynamic therapy. Our experience shows that this approach is a useful modality in the therapy of these types of tumors.
