Research on the development of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of brain tumors has shown promise in the treatment of this highly aggressive form of brain cancer. Analysis of both in vivo studies and clinical studies shows that photodynamic therapy can provide significant benefits, such as an improved median rate of survival. The use of photodynamic therapy is characterized by relatively few side effects, which is a significant advantage compared to conventional treatment methods such as often-used brain tumor surgery, advanced radiotherapy, and classic chemotherapy. Continued research in this area could bring significant advances, influencing future standards of treatment for this difficult and deadly disease.
用于治疗脑肿瘤的光动力疗法的研究已显示出在治疗这种极具侵袭性的脑癌方面的前景。对体内研究和临床研究的分析表明，光动力疗法可带来显著益处，比如提高中位生存率。光动力疗法的使用特点是副作用相对较少，与常用的脑肿瘤手术、先进放疗和经典化疗等传统治疗方法相比，这是一个显著优势。该领域的持续研究可能会带来重大进展，影响这种疑难致命疾病未来的治疗标准。
