Much has recently been written regarding the use of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma and dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. This review, however, describes the clinical experience using photodynamic therapy with various photosensitizer agents for the treatment of diseases in other areas of the gut, especially the pancreaticobiliary tract where European studies have established the role of porfimer sodium photodynamic therapy in the management of patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
