Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles for photothermal ablation of colorectal cancer organoids

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment is currently hindered by micrometastatic relapse that cannot be removed completely during surgery and is often chemotherapy resistant. Targeted theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) that can produce heat for ablation and enable tumor visualization via their fluor...
