The present invention provides a method for diagnosing or treating prostatic tissue in a human or animal patient which comprises sensitizing the prostatic tissue with an effective amount of a photosensitive composition which accumulates in the prostatic tissue and exposing the sensitized tissue to a source of light energy for a predetermined time and intensity sufficient to cause cellular and/or tissue function of the sensitized prostatic tissue to diminish or cease.

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de diagnostiquer et de traiter l'inflammation de la prostate chez l'homme ou chez l'animal, ce procédé consistant à sensibiliser le tissu prostatique à l'aide d'une quantité efficace d'une composition photosensible, laquelle s'accumule dans ce tissu, et à exposer le tissu sensibilisé à une source lumineuse pendant une période prédéterminée et selon une intensité suffisante pour provoquer la diminution ou la cessation de la fonction cellulaire et/ou tissulaire du tissu enflammé sensibilisé.
