Figure 7.5 In vivo PDT treatment of 4T1 tumour-bearing mice. Survival curves of 4T1 breast tumour-bearing mice 60 days after various treatments no nanoparticles and no irradiation - saline (blue) no nanoparticles and NIR irradiation - saline + laser (red) treatment with UCNP-Ce6-com-plex and no irradiation - UCNP-Ce6 only (green) and treatment with UCNP-Ce6-complex and NIR irradiation - UCNP-Ce6 + laser (purple). 10 mice were used in each group.
