Abstrakt: A recent report from Yili Normal University in China discusses the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a potential treatment for cancer. PDT involves using photosensitizers and light activation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) within tumor regions. However, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment poses a challenge to PDT. The report explores various strategies, including the use of tumor-oxygenated nanomaterials, to enhance the efficacy of PDT. The authors also discuss ongoing challenges and propose strategies to improve PDT's clinical impact in cancer treatment. [Extracted from the article]
