Fotodinamicheskaya terapiya v neyroonkologii

Abstract

Brain malignancies are diseases with a poor prognosis. Despite the use of currently available techniques, such as microsurgical removal, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, survival in these patients remains low due to continued tumor growth. A search is under way for treatment options that can prolong a relapse-free period and survival in these patients. The paper analyzes the data available in the literature on a new treatment technique for this group of patients, namely, photodynamic therapy.
