Application of Peptide-Conjugated Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Cancer Therapy: A Review

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved therapeutic option for the treatment of various types of cancer. PDT calls for the application of photosensitizers (PSs) and photoactivation with a particular light wavelength while tissue oxygen is present. Anticancer efficacy depends on the combi...
