Oxygen and Pt(II) self-generating conjugate for synergistic photo-chemo therapy of hypoxic tumor

Photodynamic therapy has attracted interest in treating cancer but it is limited in hypoxic tumors due to a lack of oxygen. Here, the authors describe a nano-composite capable of generating oxygen under near-infrared light for improved photodynamic and chemotherapy for treating cancer.
