{ In a mouse subcutaneous model of 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer, 25 microparticles were intratumorally administered, and after 3-cycle laser treatment, the system conferred synergistic phototherapeutic and chemotherapeutic effects. Our on-demand, pulsatile synergistic treatment resulted in increased median survival up to 39 days post start of treatment compared to untreated mice, with complete eradication of the tumors at the primary site. }
Shows promise.
