pDT, a light-activated therapy using the latest drug and laser technology, has recently become available for patients with advanced head and neck cancer. patients receive a light-sensitive drug by injection. Then, 4 days later, a laser light is shone onto the tumour to activate the drug. The aim of pDT is to obtain local clearance of the tumour, and thus reduce any symptoms associated with the cancer. head and neck cancer information
