Advances in Clinical Research on Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia
Cervical cancer is the sixth most common malignant tumor among Chinese women,and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)is a precancerous lesion of cervical cancer caused by high-risk human papilloma virus(HPV)infection.As the onset age peak of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer moves forward,the number of patients of childbearing age increases.For patients with reproductive needs,it is of great clinical significance to develop a treatment that can retain the cervical structure and function.Tumor targeted photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a safe,non-invasive,and targeted therapy that can eliminate lesions and HPV infection while maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the cervix.At present,PDT has been applied clinically to the treatment of CIN and HPV infection.This paper reviews the progress of the clinical application of PDT in the treatment of CIN.
