Anyone had photodynamic therapy for esophageal cancer?

I have read about photodynamic therapy for the treatment of esophageal cancer. Would like to hear what others have experienced. What are the pros and cons? Where could one go to have this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Esophageal Cancer Support Group.

@dorothy314, photodynamic therapy is a treatment option for some patients with esophageal cancer. Read more about it here:
- Photodynamic therapy Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/photodynamic-therapy/about/pac-20385027

I'm tagging @jcrs and @davidwrenn, who have mentioned photodynamic therapy, but I don't know if they have had it.

Dorothy, is this a treatment option that your cancer team has talked about with you?
