Schematics of the synthesis and structure of the nanoparticles. In the last step of surface modification photosensitizers are added to implement the photodynamic therapy, as well as molecules that target the tumour. At the far right, the working of the nanoparticle is depicted. It shows the principle of upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging under NIR light irradiation, as well as the X-ray activated synergistic combination radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy, monitored with red luminescence imaging.
