title: New applications in photodynamic therapy. Introduction.
abstract: Photodynamic therapy is now recognized as a legitimate therapy for both palliative and potentially curative treatment of solid tumors. This represents a major achievement for investigators who have committed their careers to PDT. Scientific research characteristically runs well ahead of accepted views and technologies. This Symposium-in-Print perhaps provides a snapshot of the potential for this technology during the next two decades.
