Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a local, endoscopically controlled nonoperative therapeutic technique based on selective sensitization of mucosal, malignant and precancerous lesions of the esophagus, trachea and bronchus prior to light-induced tissue destruction in the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. PDT is effective and safe for palliative treatment of neoplasms in the stomach, esophagus, and lung. But skin phototoxicity is unsatisfactory, therefore optimization of management of post-PDT is necessary for preventing phototoxic side effects of skin. Careful patient education in photoprotection techniques, close patient follow-up, early dermatologic referral and medical treatment are recommended. We performed PDT in a patient with intrathoracic constructed stomach. We report this case with a brief review of literatures, therefore.
