摘要：Photothermal therapy refers to the addition of targeted drugs with photothermal effects into the patient's body. Through targeting, the drug specifically recognizes tumor cells and accumulates around tumor cells. Afterwards, it is irradiated with a laser of a specific wavelength to achieve a local temperature increase, thereby achieving the effect of killing or locating tumor cells. Therefore, the most important part of this treatment method is the photothermal probe with a targeting effect and good photothermal effect. The existing photothermal probes are mainly composed of inorganic substances, organic small molecules and organic biomolecules. This paper will mainly introduce the development status and prospects of performance of these three types of photothermal probes to introduce photothermal agent development.
