Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging precision medicine therapy consisting in the destruction of pathological cells and microorganism by using a photosensitizer able to produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Phototheragnosis uses fluorescent enough ROS photosensitizers to assess the evolution of the PDT. To advance in these treatments, mainly in that related cancer, more efficient, biocompatible photosensitizers are requires.
