Development of a functionalized UV-emitting nanocomposite for the treatment of cancer using indirect photodynamic therapy

Abstract Background Photodynamic therapy is a promising cancer therapy modality but its application for deep-seated tumor is mainly hindered by the shallow penetration of visible light. X-ray-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained a major attention owing to the limitless penetration of X-ray...
