Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely studied for tumor therapy. However, the clinical transformation of PTT has encountered significant challenges in tumor recurrence, because the uneven hyperthermia in tumor tissues can result in the survival of cancer cells in the lower temperature regions
Near-infrared (NIR)-light-triggered photothermal therapy (PTT) usually requires hyperthermia to >50 °C for effective tumor ablation, which can potentially induce inflammatory disease and heating damage of normal organs nearby, while tumor lesions without sufficient heating (e.g., the internal part)
Photothermal therapy (PTT) usually requires hyperthermia >50 °C for effective tumor ablation, which inevitably induces heating damage to the surrounding normal tissues/organs. Moreover, low tumor retention and high liver accumulation are the two main obstacles that significantly limit the
