Özet

This chapter discusses nanomaterials as methods of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) used in cancer treatment. PTT kills tumor cells by changing near-infrared (NIR) light into heat, while PDT uses light on special chemicals to create substances that damage the cells. Adding nanomaterials helps both therapies by allowing a more precise aim, better solubility for drugs, improved delivery, and in vivo observation and control of the process. Examples of multifunctional nanoparticles like gold, carbon, and melanin-like structures are pointed out for their use in local therapy, tumor treatment, and treatment methods using two different modes. In addition, the chapter examines how therapy treats issues such as a lack of oxygen in tumors and drug resistance. Recently, novel biodegradable and responsive nanoplatforms have been created, allowing PTT, PDT, and chemotherapy to work together for targeted treatment. In general, nanomaterials promise safer, more effective, and personalized treatment options for breast cancer.
