Its benefits, however, are largely limited by the rapid release and clearance of therapeutic agents and the inability to penetrate through tumor tissues. We report here on a supramolecular tubustecan (TT) hydrogel as both a therapeutic and drug carrier that enables long-term, sustained drug release and improved tumor tissue penetration. Covalent linkage of a tissue penetrating cyclic peptide to two camptothecin drug units creates a TT prodrug amphiphile that can associate into tubular supramolecular polymers and subsequently form a well-defined sphere-shaped hydrogel after injection into tumor tissues. The hollow nature of the resultant tubular assemblies allows for encapsulation of doxorubicin or curcumin for combination therapy. Our in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that these dual drug-bearing supramolecular hydrogels enhance tumor retention and penetration, serving as a local therapeutic depot for potent tumor regression, inhibition of tumor metastasis and recurrence, and mitigation of the off-target side effects.Today, tumor therapy and its therapeutic efficiency evaluation are conducted separately, and current imaging techniques cannot evaluate tumor-therapeutic effects in real time. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop highly efficient theranostic strategies which are able to evaluate their tumor-therapeutic effects in real time. In this work, by rational design of a small molecular near-infrared probe Cys(StBu)-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-Lys(Cypate)-CBT (Cy-CBT) and using a CBT-Cys click condensation reaction, we facilely prepare an intelligent nanoparticle Cy-CBT-NP which is able to evaluate its photothermal therapy (PTT) efficiency on t
