Upconversion nanocomposite for programming combination cancer therapy by precise control of microscopic temperature

The combination of chemo and photothermal therapy is widely used to treat cancer but control of chemo and thermal effects is needed for optimized treatment. Here, the authors describe an upconversion nanoparticle which can be used for controlled sequential treatment by controlling laser power.
