Imaging guided combination therapy on a subcutaneous tumor model. (A) Heating curves of tumor-bearing mice with PBS, HSA@IR780 NPs and HSA@IR780@DTX NPs. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n=3). (B) The tumor growth curves of different group of mice after various treatments indicated (five mice per group). Error bars were based on standard errors of the mean. (C) Body weight of mice in different group after treatment.

Abbreviations: DTX, docetaxel; HSA, human serum albumin; NPs, nanoparticles; PBS, phosphate buffer saline.
