Photochemotherapy has been recognized as a promising combinational modality for cancer treatment. However, difficulties such as off-target drug delivery, systemic toxicity, and the hypoxic nature of the tumor microenvironment remain hindrances to its application. To overcome these challenges, cancer cell membrane camouflaged perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) dual-layer nanopolymersomes bearing indocyanine green (ICG) and camptothecin (CPT), named MICFNS, were developed in this study, and melanoma was exploited as the model for MICFNS manufacture and therapeutic application. Our data showed that MICFNS were able to stabilize both ICG and CPT in the nanocarriers and can be quickly internalized by B16F10 cells due to melanoma membrane-mediated homology. Upon NIR irradiation, MICFNS can trigger hyperthermia and offer enhanced singlet oxygen production due to the incorporation of PFOB. With ≥10/2.5 μM ICG/CPT, MICFNS + NIR can provide comparable
