Cancer thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia therapy, has long been exploited to
eradicate mass lesions that are now defined as cancer. With the development of …

Tumor hypoxia seriously impairs the therapeutic outcomes of type II photodynamic therapy
(PDT), which is highly dependent upon tissue oxygen concentration. Herein, a facile strategy …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely applied in cancer therapy as a result of its non-
