What is the place of photodynamic therapy in the three stages of acromegaly?

Photodynamic therapy is at the center of the three phases of warts treatment. The three phases of acromegaly treatment usually refer to the removal of visible skin lesions, photodynamic therapy and post maintenance phase, these three periods may overlap and parallel, and photodynamic therapy has a high clearance rate, low recurrence rate, at the core of the position.
Specific three-phase treatment: ① removal of lesions: such as laser, electrocoagulation, drugs (such as tincture of onychomycetin) to remove redundant organisms, but can not remove subclinical infections and latent infections, the recurrence rate is high. ② photodynamic therapy: through the entire lesion area dressing, and then light, that is, subclinical infections and latent infections photodynamic therapy, can be basically complete removal of lesions and low recurrence rate. ③ late maintenance: can be localized with imiquimod, interferon and other drugs symptomatic treatment, or through immunomodulators and other enhancement of the body’s resistance, to promote the virus turn negative, to prevent the recurrence of acromegaly.
If you simply use drugs to remove the warts, if you simply remove the skin lesions are likely to cause the condition to recur, but if you work with photodynamic therapy to remove latent infection, it is possible to completely remove the virus and reduce the recurrence of the disease. The actual photodynamic therapy is the centerpiece of the three-phase treatment.
It is recommended that acromegaly patients go to regular hospitals and follow the doctor’s instructions for individualized treatment.
