Non-melanoma skin cancers( NMSC) are one of the most common malignancy in humans.A-mong NMSC types,basal cell carcinoma(BCC)has the highest incidence and squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)is less common although it can metastasize.Over 30 years ago,Photodynamic therapy( PDT) was applied for the stud-y of human tumor,it showed the advantage of being a non-invasive option,and capable of field treatment,provi-ding optimum cosmetic outcomes.Numerous clinical research studies have shown the efficacy of PDT for treating NMSC.The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the previous results,current evidence and the possi-bilities for PDT in patients with NMSC.
