The recent success of hot-injection, heat-up, and microwave-assisted syntheses of QDs has enabled better control in the size, shape, and surface chemistry of QDs, leading to their performance improvement in bioimaging, drug delivery, and photodynamic therapy. In cancer therapy, QDs are applied to targeted drug delivery and imaging enhancement because of their superior brightness and resistance to photodegradation. However, there are some other significant challenges, such as biocompatibility and toxicity issues linked to heavy metals in some QDs. Research is now evolving both safer, more biocompatible QDs and ways to target them for precision in treatment.
