The use of nanoparticles in PTT offers multiple advantages:
- Targeted Therapy: Nanoparticles can be functionalized with ligands, antibodies, or peptides to specifically target cancer cells. - Enhanced Efficacy: The high surface area of nanoparticles allows for efficient light absorption and heat generation. - Minimized Side Effects: Localized heating ensures that only the targeted cells are affected, reducing damage to healthy tissues.
