Application of nanoparticle vectors in photodynamic therapy of tumors / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

For the past few years,with the extensive application of nanoparticle technology in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers,there have been some improvements of the stability of photosensitizers,the tumor targeting,the working depth and the yield of singlet oxygen by a variety of ways.Furthermore,with nanoparticle,PDT also can be combined with some other treatments together.Finally,the use of nanoparticle vectors for PDT is a novel and promising approach which might improve the efficiency of photodynamic therapy for tumors,overcome many adverse effects and increase the indications of PDT.
