I am really heartened at using photodynamics for non-invasive procedures.

This really gives patients an uplifting alternative, and is far less risky then undergoing scalpels or lasers, especially in lung and esophegeal tissue.

I have heard that PDT may even be extended to treat uterine and prostrate cancers (if they aren't already doing it). If these become common efficacies, there will be no end to the potential of PDT company valuations.

This almost reminds me of Star Trek, where they inject a chemical into a patient and then wave a light source over the effected area. It can't be that is what we've come to?
