摘要：Radiotherapy is a mainstay treatment used in clinics for locoregional therapy, although it still represents a great challenge to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of radiotherapy for tumors. Here, we report the conjugated polymer, polydiiododiacetylene (PIDA), with an iodine content of 84 wt %, as a highly effective computed tomography (CT) contrast agent and tumor microenvironment-responsive radiosensitizer. PIDA exhibited several key properties that contribute to the improvement of precision radiotherapy. The integrated PIDA nanofibers confined within the tumor envelope demonstrated amplified CT intensity and prolonged retention, providing an accurate calculation of dose distribution and precise radiation delivery for CT image-guided radiotherapy. Therefore, our strategy pioneers PIDA nanofibers as a bridge to cleverly connect a fiducial marker to guide accurate radiotherapy and a radiosensitizer to improve tumor sensitivity, thereby minimizing potential damage to surrounding tissues and facilitating on-demand therapeutic intervention in tumors.
