Photodynamic therapy of primary nonmelanomatous skin tumours of the head and neck

Nonmelanomatous skin tumours are the most frequent tumours in the white population and mainly caused by cumulative exposure to ultraviolet B radiation. On account of this origination about 80% of all nonmelanomatous skin tumours are located on the arms or the head and neck. Standard treatment for most tumours is surgical resection, with often only moderate cosmetic outcome.
