| The porphyrin-HDL nanoparticle (PLP) [68] |
Providing a safe, minimally invasive, and effective alternative to thyroidectomy for TC therapies |
PLP-PDT enabled complete ablation of tumor tissue while sparing both the normal thyroid tissue and RLN from damage. |

| Hypericin (HYP) [71] |
HYP, isolated from St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L), is regarded as a powerful photosensitizer, which is studied for its photodynamic effects. |
HYP-assisted PDT can promote mitochondrial damage and cell apoptosis in adenocarcinoma, liver cancer, and vascular malformation cells. |
ATC |
| B–OMe-NPs [55] |
B–OMe-NPs and laser irradiation mediated therapy and cell proliferation inhibition lead to tumor tissue damage |
It has good photostability and effective photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging ability, and combines PTT and PDT treatment modes |
