 Combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy

Combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PTT and PDT) is a synergistic approach used primarily in cancer treatment that utilizes two different mechanisms of action to enhance the efficacy of tumor eradication. ### Photothermal Therapy (PTT) PTT involves the application of heat to cancer cells, typically using light-absorbing agents known as "photosensitizers" that are localized to the tumor.
