Photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photodynamic chemotherapy is a new therapeutic two-step procedure consisting of an administration of a photosensitizer followed by light irradiation. PDT has been used for the treatment of cutaneous malignancies and offers the advantage over surgery of being a selective and non-invasive approach. The authors present a review of Medline-indexed experiences and trials of topical PDT in cutaneous oncology, and, by the way, remind anatomoclinical features of non-melanoma skin cancers. Complete response rates and cosmetic outcome after topical PDT with 5-aminolevulinic acid are encouraging and enable from now to consider this promising procedure as a new effective approach to manage skin cancers, particularily superficial and extensive lesions including actinic keratoses, superficial basocellular carcinomas and Bowen's disease.
