Treatment of port wine stains with photodynamie therapy in Chinese patients / 复旦学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

Port wine stains affect patients on either cosmetic or functional, and even psychological aspects. Although many therapeutic modalities have been applied, the effective clearance rate of this bothersome problem is still limited to some extent. Photodynamic therapy is a state-of -the-art option for patients with port wine stains. In this article, clearance rates and adverse effects of different photo-dynamic therapy measures (including photosensitizers and light sources) for Chinese patients were re-viewed.
