Photodynamic therapy uses the energy from a laser source to kill tumor cells that are growing on the inside of the trachea or main bronchus. Its best application is for small early superficial tumors of the airway, which can be obliterated with the laser, thereby avoiding respective surgery. As the demographics of non small cell lung cancer change, PDT therapy is used very infrequently
