In vivo photothermal activities in a tumor-bearing model and anti-tumor efficacy of the hydrogel platform mediated photothermal therapy. A The dynamic photothermal images and B temperature–time profile at the tumor site under NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1 W/cm2, 5 min). C Tumor growth curves and D body weight of mice following various treatments. E Excised tumors image at day 14 after surgery and administration.
