A multifunctional selenium nanocomposite (selenium@silica core-shell nanoshperes for loading indocyanine green(ICG)/Doxorubicin(DOX)) was fabricated to reach visible and efficient cancer treatment. The Se@SiO2-ICG nanocomposites could be used not only as excellent photothermal agents but also as carriers for DOX delivery. In addition, the Se@SiO2-ICG/DOX nanocomposites exhibited excellent fluorescence imaging and infrared imaging performance. Tumor could be effectively inhibited by Se@SiO2-ICG/DOX due to the triple treatment of photothermal effect and chemotherapy of selenium and DOX. Thus, the Se@SiO2-ICG/DOX nanocomposites have a great potential in imaging guiding synergistic treatment of cancer. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
