Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is defined as minimally invasive technique of the treatment of uterine cervix diseases associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). It is a method of choice in the patients of reproductive age. The monitoring of red fluorescence after the injection of photosensitizer during PDT provides the opportunity of control over the beginning of laser irradiation and its duration.
