Radionuclides transform chemotherapeutics into phototherapeutics for precise treatment of disseminated cancer

Most of the systemic cancer therapies lack spatiotemporal control. Here, the authors show targeted activation of a light-sensitive drug by radiopharmaceuticals in disseminated cancer cells as potential in vivo treatment of metastatic diseases with reduced off-target toxicity.
