Deskripsi

Photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer treatment is currently limited to local, accessible, tumors. Here the authors show that PTT combination with chemotherapy, by stimulating an immune response, is effective against distant tumors and establishes immune memory, thus providing a strategy to target metastatic disease.
