Clinical development and potential of photothermal and photodynamic therapies for cancer

Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, Published online: 22 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41571-020-0410-2Photodynamic and photothermal therapies hold promise in the local treatment of cancer although, arguably, their full potential has not yet been achieved. Herein, the authors review the current clinical progress of these phototherapies and discuss the bioengineering approaches that are being explored to overcome challenges and thereby improve such treatments.
