This perspective article summarizes the developments in the field of phthalocyanine-polymeric nanoparticle delivery systems for cancer photodynamic therapy over the past decade, highlighting the potential of these nanomaterials as advanced carriers for PDT while pointing out the need for further research.
This perspective article summarizes the last decade's developments in the field of phthalocyanine (Pc)-polymeric nanoparticle (NP) delivery systems for cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT), including studies with at least in vitro data. Moreover, special attention will be paid to the various strategies for enhancing the behavior of Pc-polymeric NPs in PDT, underlining the great potential of this class of nanomaterials as advanced Pcs' nanocarriers for cancer PDT. This review shows that there is still a lot of research to be done, opening the door to new and interesting nanodelivery systems.
