Photodynamic therapy typically would not cause a skin cancer, sometimes other background lesions are eliminated with standard photodynamic therapy, actinic keratoses, for example, and may allow one to see an early basal cell that otherwise would not be observed. 
But photodynamic therapy typically stimulates the immune system and actually helps.
