Strategies to improve photodynamic therapy efficacy by relieving the tumor hypoxia environment
NPG Asia Materials, 2021 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging technology for tumor treatment in which photosensitizer (PS)-mediated light irradiation reduces oxygen, producing high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can cause vascular injury and effectively kill ...
