With the rapid development of materials science, photosensitive materials have been widely used in the field of immunogenic cell death(ICD), which was on account of the reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation by photosensitizer under light irradiation inducing cellular oxidative stress during the dying of cells. Considerable researches related to photodynamic therapy(PDT) induced ICD were conducted and exhibited brilliant performance in cancer immunotherapy. Herein, a variety of different strategies for PDT induced ICD have been summarized and discussed to provide researchers more inspiration for cancer immunotherapy.
