Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This book reviews the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in dermatology, covering both established uses and its use for conditions that are not commonly treated with this method. ... The book is appropriate for dermatologists in training or practice, and it would be a good resource for dermatologists planning to incorporate PDT into their practice. ... With its updates and in-depth practical tips on the use of PDT that other books do not have ... this is a useful book." (Roger C. Lee, Doody's Review Service, September, 2011)
