Are SPDT/SDT mainstream or alternative therapies?
“Mainstream” and “alternative” are vague terms. If mainstream means “widely used”, then SPDT is a mainstream therapy in other countries, but not in Australia . SPDT is important enough to have its own research journal “Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy”. If mainstream means a therapy that directly attacks cancer cells, then SPDT/SDT is mainstream. (Alternative or complementary therapies seek to improve general health, thereby building up the body’s ability to resist the cancer. They do not directly attack cancer). SPDT/SDT is a very safe and pain free therapy, a property that relates more to alternative than to mainstream therapies.
