This review highlights how metal-ligand complexes enhance photo-activated therapy effectiveness in cancer, suggesting potential for integrative treatment strategies.
Key Points
Metal-ligand complexes serve as multifunctional platforms for photo-activated therapy in cancer treatment.
These complexes exhibit unique optical properties that facilitate reactive oxygen species generation for targeted cell destruction.
Recent trends focus on combining photo-activated therapy with other treatment modalities, like immunotherapy, for better outcomes.
Challenges, including ligand diversity and delivery optimization, are crucial for advancing cancer theranostic technologies.
