Abstract

Oral cancer rates in India surpass those in any other nation, with patients manifesting varied disease stages, including pre-malignant phases. Tobacco chewing promotes field cancerization, and related surgical interventions can be remarkably morbid. Advanced-stage patients with frequent recurrences undergo treatments that significantly degrade their quality of life. In such instances, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) emerges as an invaluable tool, enhancing both the longevity and quality of life. This paper elucidates two such cases benefiting from PDT, spotlighting its potential in transforming cancer care in India.

针对早期和复发性口腔癌及恶性前病变的光动力疗法。印度的当务之急。

印度的口腔癌发病率超过了其他任何国家，患者的病期各不相同，包括恶性肿瘤前期。咀嚼烟草会促进口腔癌的发生，而相关的手术治疗可能会造成极大的病痛。经常复发的晚期患者接受的治疗会大大降低他们的生活质量。在这种情况下，光动力疗法（PDT）就成了一种宝贵的工具，既能延长患者的寿命，又能提高其生活质量。本文阐述了两个从光动力疗法中获益的病例，突出了光动力疗法在改变印度癌症治疗方面的潜力。
