Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure , and I hope this article makes photodynamic therapy more accessible to people with common skin cancers such as Actinic Keratosis , Superficial Basal Cell Cancer or Bowen's Disease, and that Government Health Care Agents should consider to support patients with this treatment in their health care insurance program .
