Abstract
Conventional tumor diagnosis and treatment approaches have significant limitations in clinical application, whereas personalized theranostistic nanoplatforms can ensure advanced diagnosis, precise treatment, and even a good prognosis in cancer. Tumor microenvironment (TME)-targeted therapeutic strategies offer absolute advantages in all aspects compared to tumor cell-targeted therapeutic strategies. It is essential to create a TME-responsive all-in-one nanotheranostic platform to facilitate individualized tumor treatment. Based on the TME-responsive multifunctional nanotheranostic platform, we focus on the combined use of multimodal imaging and therapeutic protocols and summary and outlooks on the latest advanced nanomaterials and structures for creating the integrated nanotheranostic system based on material science, which provide insights and reflections on the development of innovative TME-targeting tools for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Metal peroxide-based nanomedicines have emerged as promising theranostic agents for cancer due to their multifunctional properties, including the generation of bioactive small molecules such as metal ions, H2O2, O2, and OH-. Among these metal peroxides, calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanomedicines have attracted significant attention due to their facile synthesis and good biocompatibility. CaO2nanoparticles have been explored for cancer treatment through three main mechanisms: (1) the release of O2, which helps alleviate tumor hypoxia and enhances oxygen-dependent therapies such as chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy; (2) the generation of H2O2, a precursor for ·OH generation, which enables cancer chemodynamic therapy; and (3) the release of Ca2+ions, which induce calcium overload and promote cell apoptosis (called ion-interference therapy). This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent examples of CaO2nanoparticle-based cancer therapeutic strategies, as well as discusses the challenges and future directions in the development of CaO2nanomedicines for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention in recent years for its favorable therapeutic efficacy in cancer therapy. However, PDT alone is insufficient to improve the therapeutic efficiency mainly due to the limited penetration depth of light, the insufficient O2 supply in the hypoxic microenvironment, and the high level of reducing substances in cancer cells. To overcome these limitations, a multifunctional MnO2 nanoparticle was constructed with honeycomb MnO2 which was loaded with the photosensitizer Ce6 and modified with polydopamine on its surface (HMnO2/C&P) to achieve efficient PDT/mild photothermal treatment (PTT) combination therapy. HMnO2/C&P had high drug loading contents (11.2% Ce6) and can be responsive to the tumor microenvironment (TME), supply O2 to alleviate the hypoxic microenvironment, and clear GSH to reduce the consumption of ROS, thus enhancing the PDT effect. The introduction of PDA can improve the stability of HMnO2/C&P, and further give the ability of PTT to act as nanomedicine. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments show that HMnO2/C&P based PDT/mild PTT combination therapy has an excellent inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Meanwhile, HMnO2/C&P can act as a fluorescence imaging reagent and a TME triggerable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, thus having excellent multimodal self-tracking abilities. Collectively, this study provides a new perspective on the design of multifunctional theranostic nanomedicine to maximize the efficacy of cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have gained more attention from researchers due to their unique properties of photon conversion from an excitation/incident wavelength to a more suitable emission wavelength at a designated site, thus improving the scope in the life sciences field. Due to their fascinating and unique optical properties, UCNPs offer attractive opportunities in theranostics for early diagnostics and treatment of deadly diseases such as cancer. Also, several efforts have been made on emerging approaches for the fabrication and surface functionalization of luminescent UCNPs in optical biosensing applications using various infrared excitation wavelengths. In this review, we discussed the recent advancements of UCNP-based analytical chemistry approaches for sensing and theranostics using a 980 nm laser as the excitation source. The key analytical merits of UNCP-integrated fluorescence analytical approaches for assaying a wide variety of target analytes are discussed. We have described the mechanisms of the upconversion (UC) process, and the application of surface-modified UCNPs for in vitro/in vivo bioimaging, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT). Based on the latest scientific achievements, the advantages and disadvantages of UCNPs in biomedical and optical applications are also discussed to overcome the shortcomings and to improve the future study directions. This review delivers beneficial practical information of UCNPs in the past few years, and insights into their research in various fields are also discussed precisely.

Abstract
Herein we report synthesis of hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorods by calcinating hydrothermally synthesized goethite nanorods at 5000C. The structural, optical and MRI imaging guided cancer therapeutic properties of fabricated nanorods have been discussed in this manscript. FESEM and TEM imaging techniques were used to confirm the nanorod like morphology of as prepared materials. As we know that Fe2O3 nanorods with size in the range of 25-30 nm exhibit super magnetism. After coating with the PEG, the as prepared nanorods can be used as T2 MR imaging contrast agents. An excellent T2 MRI contrast of 38.763 mM-1s-1 achieved which is highest reported so far for α-Fe2O3. Besides the as prepared nanorods display an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 39.5% thus acts as an excellent photothermal therapeutic agent. Thus, we envision the idea of testing our nanorods for photothermal therapy and MR imaging application both in vitro and in vivo, achieving an excellent T2 MRI contrast and photothermal therapy effect with as prepared PEGylated nanorods.

Abstract
With the excellent ability to transform near-infrared light to localized visible or UV light, thereby achieving deep tissue penetration, lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) have emerged as one of the most striking nanoscale materials for more effective and safer cancer treatment. Up to now, UCNPs combined with photosensitive components have been widely used in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs, photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy. Applications in these directions are reviewed in this article. We also highlight microenvironmental tumor monitoring and precise targeted therapies. Then we briefly summarize some new trends and the existing challenges for UCNPs. We hope this review can provide new ideas for future cancer treatment based on UCNPs.
