In recent years, metal peroxide (MO<sub>2</sub>) such as CaO<sub>2</sub> has received more and more attention in cancer treatment. MO<sub>2</sub> is readily decompose to release metal ions and hydrogen peroxide in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), resulting metal ions overloading, decreased acidity and elevated oxidative stress in TME. All of these changes making MO<sub>2</sub> an excellent tumor therapeutic agent. Moreover, by combining MO<sub>2</sub> with photosensitizers, enzymes or Fe ...[more]
