Information on PDT Chinese Version .... Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) 腫瘤光力學療法 What is it? 什麼是腫瘤光力學療法?
PDT utilizes a light sensitive medicine which selectively accumulates on diseased tissue. Light of specific wavelengths is then applied to the affected area. 腫瘤光力學療法是利用注入一種 對光照敏感的藥劑(光敏劑),該光敏劑能有選擇性地聚集到病變組織上,並使用一種特殊波長的光波對其進行照射以達到治療效果。 How does it work? 腫瘤光力學療法是如何產生效應的? Why does it work? 為何該療法有效?

1. Light-activated agent (photosensitizer) administered 注入光敏劑(對光照敏感的藥劑) 2. Agent accumulates selectively in affected tissue 該光敏劑將有選擇性地聚集到不正常的細胞上

Typical Treatment 治療過程
Evaluation by physician 醫生評估 Medicine administered 施藥 Have Light treatments 進行光照治療 Repeat cycles as directed by physician 重複進行上述治療過程
Any Side effects? 是否有副作用?
Treatment Protocol 治療過程 Step 1: The physician completes a medical evaluation and determines the appropriate amount of light sensitive medicine for the patient. 第一步:醫生會為病人的狀況作一個全面的醫學評估,並決定光敏劑(對光照敏感的藥劑)的適當使用量。
  |
Step 2: The appropriate amount of light sensitive medicine is given to the patient orally over 2-3 days 第二步:病人連續2到3天口服攝入適量的光敏劑。

|
Step 3: Patients wait 24 to 36 hours for the agent to clear from skin and normal tissue 第三步:病人需等候24 - 36小時以便光敏劑從正常的組織和皮膚中清除。
 
|
Step 4: To activate light sensitive medicine you will be given treatment with a Whole-body Illumination Device (WID) three to five days following administration of the Next Generation Photosensitizer (PhotoNexGen).
第四步:攝入光敏劑三天後,病人需要接受全身性光照治療以使光敏劑啟動。

| | Side Effects 副作用
At the recommended dosage only a small number of patients experienced noticeable undesirable effects. 在使用被建議的劑量下,僅有少數病人會有明顯的 不良反應。 In most patients these symptoms were minor and lasted only for a short while. 在大多數的情況下, 病人只出現些微的不良反應症狀,且持續的時間很短。
