In this perspective, we tackle several issues that affect current research on photothermal therapy, such as the influence of other factors produced in the process, for instance reactive oxygen species or vapor nanobubbles. After focusing on several of the aspects of photothermal therapy that need further clarification, we step back and see this therapy from a wider angle in order to identify its weaknesses. Finally, we briefly summarize what we consider should be the orientation and key focus of future researches in order to establish the full potential of this rapidly advancing and promising therapy. 000062074 536__ $$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 754609-HOTFLOW$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/754609/EU/A Photothermal Lateral Flow Test for Visual Point of Care Detection/HOTFLOW$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/SAF2014-54763-C2-2-R 000062074 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000062074 592__ $$a0.29$$b2017 000062074 593__ $$aNanoscience and Nanotechnology$$c2017$$dQ3 000062074 593__ $$aBiomedical Engineering$$c2017$$dQ3 000062074 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/review$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000062074 700__ $$aCui, D. 000062074 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-1081-8482$$aMartinez de la Fuente, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000062074 7102_ $$12013$$2765$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
