Overcoming barriers in photodynamic therapy harnessing nano-formulation strategies

Jianlei Xie et al.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great potential in tumor treatment due to its non-invasiveness, spatiotemporal selectivity, lower side-effects, and immune activation ability. However, the clinical application of PDT is restricted by various factors such as traditional photosensitizer limitations, light penetration issues, tumor resistance, and pain induction. Recent advancements in using nanomaterials as photosensitizers or carriers, combined with optimized therapy strategies, have shown promising results in overcoming these barriers and improving the effectiveness of PDT in cancer treatment.
