Progress in Nanocarriers Codelivery System to Enhance the Anticancer Effect of Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer noninvasive method and has great potential for clinical applications. Unfortunately, PDT still has many limitations, such as metastatic tumor at unknown sites, inadequate light delivery and a lack of sufficient oxygen. Recent studies have demonstr...
