Abstract
Indocyanine green(ICG) is a conventional near-infrared(NIR) dye that can be used in clinical fluorescence imaging, and it is also an effective light absorber for laser-mediated photothermal or photodynamic therapy. However, the ICG is still limited by its unstable properties in aqueous media and quick clearance from the body. The ICG-loaded nanoparticle has provided the versatile assembly tools for further development and application of the ICG. Herein, we review the application of ICG nanoparticles in NIR diagnosis and photothermal/photodynamic therapy of cancer.
