I read about Photodynamic Theraoy about 10 years ago, which wasn’t done at any of my centers or would be applicable to me due to the depth of the tumor, so I never looked further.

It was sort of a new treatment for head and neck cancer, more specifically the tongue, but I believe it’s used for different cancers now.

Where I read it was being done was at Roswell Park in Buffalo, NY where it was invented in the 70’s. One restriction though is the depth of the cancer since it does not penetrate deep.

Here is Roswell Park website:
