Abstract
The use of light as a powerful tool for disease treatment has introduced a new era in tumor treatment and provided abundant opportunities for light-based tumor theranostics. This work reports a photothermal theranostic fiber integrating cancer detection and therapeutic functions. Its self-heating effect can be tuned at ultralow powers and used for self-heating detection and tumor ablation. The fiber, consisting of a dual-plasmonic nanointerface and an optical microfiber, can be used to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells, quantify cancer cells, perform hyperthermal ablation of cancer cells, and evaluate the ablation efficacy. Its cancer cell ablation rate reaches 89% in a single treatment. In vitro and in vivo studies reveal quick, deep-tissue photonic hyperthermia in the NIR-II window, which can markedly ablate tumors. The marriage of a dual-plasmonic nanointerface and an optical microfiber presents a novel paradigm in photothermal therapy, offering the potential to surmount the challenges posed by limited light penetration depth, nonspecific accumulation in normal tissues, and inadvertent damage in current methods. This work thus provides insight for the exploration of an integrated theranostic platform with simultaneous functions in cancer diagnostics, therapeutics, and postoperative monitoring for future practical applications.

Optical Microfiber with a Gold Nanorods-Black Phosphorous Nanointerface: An Ultrasensitive Biosensor and Nanotherapy Platform. Anal Chem 2022; 94:8058-8065.

Abstract
The detection and therapy of cancers in the early stage significantly alleviate the associated dangers. Optical devices offer new opportunities for these early measures. However, the clinical translation of the existing methods is severely hindered by their relatively low sensitivity or unclear physiological metabolism. Here, an optical microfiber sensor with a drug loading gold nanorod-black phosphorous nanointerface, as an ultrasensitive biosensor and nanotherapy platform, is developed to meet the early-stage requirement. With interface sensitization and functionalization of the hybrid nanointerface, the microfiber sensor presents an ultrahigh sensing performance, achieving the selective detection of the HER2 biomarker with limits of detection of 0.66 aM in buffer solution and 0.77 aM in 10% serum. It can also distinguish breast cancer cells from other cells in the early stage. Additionally, enabled by the interface, the optical microfiber is able to realize cellular nanotherapy, including photothermal/chemotherapy with pump laser coupling after diagnosis, and evaluate therapy results in real time. The immobilization of the interface on the optical microfiber surface prevents the damage to normal cells induced by nanomaterial enrichment, making the device more efficient and intelligent. This study opens up a new avenue for the development of smart optical platforms for sensitive biosensing and precision therapy.

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2021; 12:4730-4744.

Abstract
We demonstrate a fiber optic probe incorporating functional polymer composites for controlled generation of photothermal effects. The probe combines carbon-based and rare-earth composites on the tip of standard multimode fibers, thus yielding a compact fiber optic photothermal probe (FOPP) whose temperature can be measured simultaneously through fluorescent thermometry. We evaluate the thermal features of the probe through experiments and numerical calculations showing that large thermal gradients are obtained within the vicinity of the heating zone. The temperatures achieved with the FOPP are within the ranges of interest for hyperthermia and can be attained using low optical powers (< 280 mW).
