T/CHSA 004-2021 Expert Consensus on Photodynamic Therapy for Oral Potential Malignant Diseases with 5-Aminolevulinic Acid
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: Photodynamic therapy is an emerging and developing interdisciplinary field that integrates pharmacy, optics, chemistry, metrology, cell and molecular biology, therapeutics, and various clinical disciplines. It is a combined drug-device therapy that uses photosensitizers and light sources. Under the participation of oxygen molecules in biological tissues, photochemical reactions produce cytotoxic substances (such as singlet oxygen) to selectively destroy diseased tissues without causing damage to normal tissues. In recent years, oral mucosal disease researchers have also gradually applied photodynamic therapy to treat some oral mucosal diseases, achieving good results. This consensus addresses the clinical issues of treating potential malignant diseases in the oral cavity at the current stage and provides a scientific basis for treatment.
