Conjugated polymers for photothermal therapy of cancer
Abstract
Due to the high specificity, low side effects, and great efficacy, photothermal therapy using light energy to burn cancer has been proposed as an attractive alternative to traditional cancer therapies. In the recent few years, researchers have found that various conjugated polymers with strong absorbance in the near-infrared (NIR) window, if appropriately functionalized, could serve as highly effective photothermal agents, showing encouraging cancer ablation results both in vitro and in vivo. Those polymers could also be utilized as drug delivery carriers to load many aromatic therapeutic agents with high loading efficiencies, promising for combination cancer therapy. Thus, this mini-review article would discuss the latest progress in the development of conjugated polymers for photothermal therapy of cancer.

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.
