Peritoneal metastasis, incomplete resection, and drug resistance render advanced-stage ovarian cancer virtually incurable with current surgical and chemotherapy approaches. Photoimmunotherapy is increasingly used to treat unresectable metastases, but many innovations are lost in translation due to heterogeneous treatment effects. This study integrates targeted nanotechnology, fluorescence-guided intervention, and a medical laser system to improve the safety, efficacy, and consistency of photoimmunotherapy for peritoneal metastases.
