In vivo photothermal therapeutic evaluation. Photothermal images of mice after laser treatment. (a) (CuS@MSN+980 nm laser) group, (b) (980 nm laser only) group, and (c) (CuS@MSN only) group. Digital photos of mice with 4T1 tumors on Day 30 after treatment. (d) (CuS@MSN+980 nm laser) group, (e) (980 nm laser only) group, and (f) (CuS@MSN only) group. (g) A digital photo of mouse from (CuS@MSN+980 nm laser) group on Day 67 after treatment. (h) Changes of tumor size of mice from 3 different groups after treatment (n = 5). Laser dose: 4 W/cm2, 15 min. CuS@MSN dose: 33 mg/kg. Tumors were marked with red arrows. The differences between the treatment group and two control groups were statistically significant (*P < 0.05 on Day 4, **P < 0.01 at later time points).
