9,10-Phenanthrenequinone: A Promising Kernel to Develop Multifunctional Antitumor Systems for Efficient Type I Photodynamic and Photothermal Synergistic Therapy

evaluations demonstrate that the nanoagents fabricated by these PQ-based photosensitizers are excellent candidates for Type I photodynamic and photothermal combined antitumor therapy. This study thus broadens the horizon for the development of high-performance PTT/Type I PDT nanoagents for synergistic phototheranostic treatments.
