Item 8.01 Other Events.

     On October 3, 2007, DUSA issued a press release, attached to and made part of this report, announcing that the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) has approved Levulan^® Kerastick^® for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) through its marketing partner Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd and its affiliate DNC Daewoong Derma & Plastic Surgery Network Company (DNCompany). Having received approval, subsequent market launch is expected in the first quarter of 2008.

     Except for historical information, this report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risk and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the statements made. These forward-looking statements relate to expectations for launch in the first quarter of 2008, manufacture and supply by DUSA, marketing and distribution by Daewoong, perceptions of success in the market, expectations for commercialization in 11 Asian countries. Furthermore, the factors that may cause differing results include the ability to penetrate the market, the regulatory process, sufficient funding, maintenance of DUSA’s patent portfolio, reliance on third parties, and other risks identified in DUSA’s SEC filings from time to time.
