PDD offers several advantages over traditional diagnostic methods: - Enhanced Sensitivity: PDD can detect smaller and more superficial cancerous lesions that might be missed with other imaging techniques. - Real-Time Visualization: The fluorescence emitted by the photosensitizer provides real-time visualization, allowing for immediate assessment during surgical procedures. - Minimally Invasive: PDD is a minimally invasive technique, reducing the need for extensive biopsies or other invasive diagnostic procedures. - Improved Surgical Outcomes: By accurately delineating tumor margins, PDD can help surgeons remove cancerous tissues more precisely, potentially reducing recurrence rates.
