摘要

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment method with fewer side effects,minimal invasion and low toxicity compared with other traditional cancer therapy methods,such as radiotherapy,chemotherapy and surgery [1].During photodynamic therapy,photosensitizers are used to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill the cancer ceils.Photosensitizers with high ROS quantum yields and good biocompatibility are highly desired for cancer treatment [2].
