a Schematic illustration of the therapeutic mechanism for plasmonic phototheranostics triggered by a single NIR-II laser (1000–1700 nm wavelength)178. b Comparison of NIR-II imaging and CT imaging. c The Kaplan–Meier survival curve of U87-MG tumor-bearing mice (n = 5) after various treatments. As observed, the plasmonic phototheranostics is effective. Reproduced with permission178. Copyright 2022 John Wiley and Sons.
