A metal-polyphenolic nanosystem with NIR-II fluorescence-guided combined photothermal therapy and radiotherapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Nov 2;57(87):11473-11476. doi: 10.1039/d1cc04628d.

Abstract

Photothermal therapy (PTT) achieves substantive therapeutic progress in certain tumor types without exogenous agents but is hampered by the over-activated inflammatory response or tumor recurrence in some cases. Herein, we technically developed the metal-polyphenolic nanosystem with precise NIR-II fluorescence-imaging guidance for combining hafnium (Hf)-sensitized radiotherapy with PTT to regress tumor growth.
