Methylaminolaevulinate‐based photodynamic therapy of Bowen’s disease and squamous cell carcinoma

Background  Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with methylaminolaevulinate (MAL) is an approved noninvasive treatment option for actinic keratosis and Bowen’s disease (BD), two precursors of invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
