Article Synopsis
- Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) leads to reduced melanin in skin, increasing the risk of skin damage and cancer, with cryotherapy being the common treatment in resource-limited areas like Tanzania.
- A study involved 12 participants from a skin surveillance clinic, who received daylight photodynamic therapy (dPDT) for actinic damage and provided feedback on its tolerability and acceptability.
- Results showed that dPDT was mostly well-tolerated, significantly reducing actinic damage by 25-90% without causing any new skin cancers, suggesting it may be a safe treatment option for OCA patients in Tanzania.
