As a new minimally invasive technique, photothermal therapy has attracted worldwide attention in the treatment of cancer. Photothermal therapy kills cancer cells by converting photon energy into heat energy. At the time of selection, the photothermal agents will be required to be water solubility, cytotoxicity, high photothermal conversion efficiency, metabolic pathway and so on. This report introduces the current research status of various nanoparticles used in photothermal therapy, and looks forward to the future development of photothermal therapy.
