ABSTRACT
OPINION STATEMENT Skin tumors commonly seen in dermatology are involved in all layers of the skin and appendages. While biopsy of affected skin remains an essential method to confirm diagnosis and to predicate tumor prognosis, it has its limitations. Recently, photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) has demonstrated high sensitivity in detecting affected skin and mucosal tissues, providing valuable guidance for precision surgery to resect skin and mucosal tumors. In this review, we summarized the literatures concerning the applications of PDD in diagnostic process and treatment of skin and mucosal conditions such as actinic keratoses (AK), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), Bowen's disease (BD) and extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). The findings suggest that PDD holds substantial promise for expanding clinical applications and deserves further research exploration.
