Near-Infrared-II (NIR-II) spans wavelengths between 1,000 to 1,700 nanometers, featuring deep tissue penetration and reduced tissue scattering and absorption characteristics, providing robust support for cancer treatment and tumor imaging research. This review explores the utilization of activatable NIR-II photodiagnosis and phototherapy based on tumor microenvironments (e.g., reactive oxygen species, pH, glutathione, hypoxia) and external stimuli (e.g., laser, ultrasound, photothermal) for precise tumor treatment and imaging...
