Popis: The results of the clinical observation of a female patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cheek skin treated by the method of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using the photosensitizer of fotoditazin are represented. The patient had single course of PDT. Fotoditazin was injected in a dose of 0.8 mg/kg of body weight as a single intravenous infusion in 0.9% sodium chloride. The irradiation was performed once, 2.5 h after injection of the photosensitizer (power density of laser irradiation – 200-300 mW/cm2, light dose of a single session of 300-350 J/ cm2). There were no side effects after photosensitizer injection and after irradiation. The result of the treatment was defined as partial tumor regression. For nowadays the follow-up period is 2 months. The repeated course of PDT is scheduled.
