Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally invasive treatment method that utilizes light-absorbing agents, often in the form of nanoparticles, to convert light energy into heat. This heat can selectively destroy targeted cells, such as cancer cells, while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The therapy is typically induced by shining near-infrared (NIR) light onto the treatment area, which penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by the nanoparticles.
