Photodynamic therapy in VEGF inhibition non-responders-Pharmacogenetic study in age-related macular degeneration assessed with swept-source optical coherence tomography.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) remains a major challenge in ophthalmology. It is essential to determine which of VEGF inhibition non-responders can benefit from photodynamic therapy (PDT). As AMD is strongly related to gene polymorphisms, genetic factors can modify efficacy of treatment. Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) gives exceptional insight into...
