Antitumor Applications of Photothermal Agents and Photothermal Synergistic Therapies [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 As a new tumor treatment strategy, photothermal therapy (PTT) has the advantages of accuracy, ease of administration, a high efficiency and low side effects. Photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) are the key factor which play an important role in PTT. The mechanism of PTT is discussed in detail.
