Abstract
The classical photodynamic therapy (PDT) requires external light to activate photosensitizers for cancer treatment. However, limited tissue penetration of light has been a long-standing challenge for PDT to cure malignant tumors in deep tissues. Recently, Cerenkov radiation (CR) emitted by radiotracers such as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) has become an alternative and promising internal light source. Nevertheless, fluorine-18 (F-18) only...
