This review aims to examine the effectiveness of nanoparticle-based phototherapies in tumor treatment and their immunotherapeutic potential.
Summarized studies on nanoparticle-based photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in tumor models.
Discussed the mechanisms of immune activation and antitumor responses due to PTT and PDT.
Reviewed challenges and future directions in the application of these therapies.
PTT and PDT directly kill tumor cells and activate immune responses, enhancing antitumor effects.
Induction of cytokine expression and memory T lymphocyte transformation was noted following therapies.
Combination with immune checkpoint blockade could further enhance therapeutic outcomes.
