Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic method based on the interaction between light and photosensitizer. Supported by nanoparticles, this represents promising interdisciplinary approach for treatment of many diseases. This article reviews latest 2024 developments in design applications nanoparticles dedicated to stand-alone PDT breast cancer. Strategies improve efficacy enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, precise delivery photosensitizers their stabilization systemic circulation are discussed, among others. Results from preclinical studies indicate significant improvements efficacy, including inhibition tumor growth, reduction metastasis improvement immune microenvironment. The potential these technologies expand medicine need further clinical trials confirm safety highlighted.
