It has gained recognition for its efficacy, low toxicity, and potential for repeated use. Colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC), impose a significant burden on global intestinal health, with increasing incidence and prevalence rates. PDT shows promise as an emerging approach for gastrointestinal disease treatment, particularly IBD and CRC. Extensive preclinical research has demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of PDT for IBD and CRC, while clinical studies are currently underway. This review provides an overview of the underlying mechanisms responsible for the anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects of PDT, offering insights into the clinical application of PDT in IBD and CRC treatment. It is expected that this review will serve as a valuable reference for future research on PDT for CRC and IBD, contributing to advancements in the treatment of inflammatory and cancerous diseases of the intestines.  \nKeywords: photodynamic therapy; inflammatory bowel diseases; colorectal cancer; reactive oxygen species; immunology; nanomedicine  \n1. Introduction  \nPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) is a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment for cancer and inflammatory diseases, known for its recognized efficacy, low toxicity, and suitability for repeated administration [1] . The procedure involves the application of a photosensitizer (PS) to the targeted area, followed by exposure to specific light [2] . The PS selectively targets rapidly proliferating cells, making it a versatile and effective treatment option for various medical conditions [3, 4] .  \nPDT comprises three essential components: excitation light, PS, and oxygen. Table S1 summarized the types of PS and its application in various medical conditions. The choice of PS type and its application in different conditions depends on factors like disease type and stage, tumor location, specific PS properties, and treatment objectives. When a PS is exposed to  \nlight of a specific wavelength, it undergoes two types of photochemical reactions that lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [5] . In Type I reactions, the PS transfers energy to biomolecules while in the T1 excited state, causing a transfer of hydrogen or electrons between the photosensitizerand substrate. Subsequently, interacting with oxygen molecules produces superoxide anion radicals, which generate ROS within the cells. Conversely, in Type II reactions, the PS is excited to the triplet state, and its energy directly transfers to ground-state oxygen molecules, resulting in the production of highly oxidizing singlet oxygen [1] .  \nPDT can be categorized into High-dose (HDPDT) and lo","cbCaippATCZeZC6L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaippATCZeZC6L","pdf",4289863,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Core PDT components and photochemical pathways\n## ROS generation and Type I/Type II reactions\n## Dose-based PDT categories (high-dose vs low-dose)\n# Inflammatory bowel disease and CRC context\n## IBD as a contributor to colorectal cancer","[{\"question\":\"What are the main components of photodynamic therapy (PDT)?\",\"answer\":\"PDT requires excitation light, a photosensitizer (PS), and oxygen.
