CSRT Initiative: Process of Introducing a New Technique to Treat Superficial Skin Cancers

Skin cancer incidence is predicted to double in the next 30 years. Surgery is considered the gold standard however with the potential for negative cosmetic outcomes. For superficial lesions a non- invasive approach is preferable. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is non- invasive treatment involving a photosensitizing drug activated by light, which in turn destroys targeted cells. The aim of this work is to describe a CSRT led PDT program from inception to clinical.
