Effect of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy Combined with Carbon dioxide Laser on Condyloma Acuminatum

“…Condyloma acuminatum has the characteristics of long incubation period, high recurrence rate and strong infectivity. Traditional treatment methods such as Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser and freezing are mainly to remove warts, but clinical practice shows that these methods have a high recurrence rate and poor treatment effect, likely to have adverse reactions such as infection and bleeding [2,3] . 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy (ALA-PDT) is an emerging physical therapy method that uses photosensitizers to release cytotoxic substances and selectively destroy diseased tissues under the action of a specific light source.…”
