photodynamic diagnosis (pdd)

What Are the Limitations of PDD?

Despite its advantages, PDD has some limitations:
- Photosensitizer Side Effects: Some patients may experience side effects from the photosensitizing agent, such as skin photosensitivity.
- Limited Tissue Penetration: The light used for excitation has limited tissue penetration, which can restrict the effectiveness of PDD in detecting deeper tumors.
- Equipment Requirements: PDD requires specialized equipment and expertise, which may not be available in all medical centers.
