Free radicals for cancer theranostics
Abstract
Free radicals were generally regarded as highly reactive, transient and harmful species. In fact, some of the free radicals can also be inactive, long-lived and beneficial for our health. These properties of free radicals provide future possibilities for their application in various fields. Owning to their open-shell electronic structure, free radicals exhibit unique advantages in biomedical applications, such as high reactivity, photoacoustic and photothermal conversion ability, molecular magnetic. In this review, recent progress on free radicals and their applications in cancer theranostics are presented. Typical materials that exhibit controlled generation of free radicals and their applications for photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), gas therapy, hypoxic cancer treatment, photothermal therapy (PTT), photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are summarized and discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
