Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly used in the Philippines for treating skin cancers and other dermatological conditions. The market is supported by greater awareness of non-invasive cancer treatments and the growing number of specialized medical centers equipped with PDT systems.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is gaining traction in the Philippines as a minimally invasive option for treating certain cancers and skin conditions like acne and actinic keratosis. PDT uses light-sensitive drugs and specific light wavelengths to destroy targeted cells. Dermatology and oncology clinics are adopting this technology as patient interest in non-surgical and localized treatments grows. Government hospitals and private centers are gradually increasing access to this form of therapy.
The photodynamic therapy (PDT) market in the Philippines is limited by the lack of awareness among both patients and healthcare professionals. While PDT offers non-invasive treatment options for certain cancers and skin conditions, its uptake is hindered by limited insurance coverage and the high cost of treatment equipment. Furthermore, regulatory challenges and insufficient clinical infrastructure restrict its wider adoption in public healthcare systems.
As oncology care improves, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is emerging as a minimally invasive treatment for certain cancers and skin diseases. Investments can focus on importing PDT drugs and light sources, training medical professionals, and establishing treatment centers integrated within existing hospitals and dermatology clinics.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly used in cancer and skin treatment applications. The DOH supports PDT under its cancer care framework, and the Philippine FDA approves light-activated drugs and devices. Public hospitals offering advanced oncology services are encouraged to include PDT among available treatment options, particularly through the National Integrated Cancer Control Act.
