Of the wide range of treatment modalities available to dermatologists, few possess the history, efficacy, and safety of phototherapy. It should be emphasized that dermatologists are the only group of physicians optimally trained and qualified to understand the medical indications of phototherapy. Phototherapy, recognized for its cost-effectiveness, should remain a consideration in patient treatment. Continued training and education in residency and thereafter is needed to maintain the proficiency of physicians. In addition, payors need continued education to ensure that insurance coverage of phototherapy is not a barrier for patients to access this therapy. To further improve and optimize the outcome, phototherapy research needs to be supported.
在皮肤科医生可使用的广泛治疗方式中，很少有方法能像光疗那样拥有悠久的历史、确切的疗效和良好的安全性。应当强调的是，皮肤科医生是唯一经过专门培训和合格的医师群体，他们最能理解光疗的医学适应证。光疗具有成本效益，应继续作为患者治疗的一种考虑因素。住院医师培训和之后的持续培训和教育是保持医生能力的必要条件。此外，支付方也需要持续教育，以确保光疗的保险覆盖不会成为患者获得这种治疗的障碍。为了进一步改善和优化治疗结果，需要支持光疗研究。
