Nanoparticles of albumin for combined therapeutic strategies in prostate cancer. A Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of prostate cancer in mice using HSA@IR780@DTX nanoparticles. (I) Fluorescence imagery following nanoparticle injection into prostate cancer-afflicted mice, with tumor locations marked by white arrows. (II) Fluorescence imagery of dissected major organs from mice 48 h post-injection. (III) Semiquantitative analysis of nanoparticle distribution across major organs, presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). B Employing a combination of PTT and chemotherapy in a subcutaneous tumor model. (I) Comparative analysis of thermal response in tumor-bearing mice treated with PBS, HSA@IR780 nanoparticles, and HSA@IR780@DTX nanoparticles, with results shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). (II) Tumor growth trajectories in different mouse cohorts subjected to varied treatments, with error bars denoting standard errors of the mean (n = 5). C In vivo assessment of nanoparticle therapeutic impact. (I) Comparative imagery of mice with prostate cancer pre- and post-treatment. (II) Microscopic examination of tumor tissues stained with H&E following nanoparticle treatment
