Activating the pyroptosis pathway of tumor cells by photodynamic therapy (PDT) for immunogenic cell death (ICD) is considered a valid strategy in pursuit of antitumor immunotherapy, but it remains a huge challenge due to the lack of reliable design guidelines. Moreover, it is often overlooked that conventional PDT can exacerbate the development of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, which is apparently unfavorable to clinical immunotherapy. The endoplasmic reticulum's (ER) pivotal role in cellular homeostasis and its emerging link to pyroptosis have galvanized interest in ER-centric imaging and therapeutics.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the deadliest malignant tumor, with a grim 5-year overall survival rate of about 12%. As its incidence and mortality rates rise, it is likely to become the second-leading cause of cancer-related death. The radiological assessment determined the stage and management of PDAC.

The p53 protein has attracted huge research interest over several decades due to its role as one of the most important tumor suppressors in mammals, which orchestrates a synchronous response from normal cells in the body to various forms of stress. The diverse cellular activities of the p53 protein are regulated mainly via its post-translational modifications (PTMs). PTMs affect p53 on several levels: at the level of the assembly of tetrameric complexes on DNA to transactivate its target genes, at the level of the assembly of tetrameric complexes on DNA to transactivate its target genes; at the level of proteolysis in the absence of stress; and on the contrary, at the level of augmented protein stability in response to stress signals.

Malignant tumors are a leading cause of death worldwide, second only to cardiovascular disease. They occur in every population and have a high risk of mortality. The etiopathogenesis of malignant tumors is diverse and there are still many unknowns, leading to huge diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
