Photodynamic therapy uses light-sensitive medicine and a special light source to destroy cancerous or precancerous cells. This treatment limits damage to surrounding healthy tissue. You’ll receive the photosensitizer by mouth, injection or through an IV, depending on the area being treated. Then the doctor exposes the area to special light.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing incidence of cancer and skin disorders, minimally invasive treatment demand, and advancements in technology is anticipated to drive growth of the global photodynamic therapy market over the forecast period. Moreover, favorable regulatory approvals is also expected to boost the growth of the global photodynamic therapy market over the forecast period. Personalized treatment approaches, collaboration with pharmaceutical companies, advancements in imaging techniques, and telemedicine and remote consultations are expected to create growth opportunities for the global photodynamic therapy market during the forecast period.
However, limited awareness and education, high treatment costs, and complex treatment protocols are expected to hamper growth of the photodynamic therapy market over the forecast period.
