Summary:
- Hydrogels are a type of soft, water-based material that can be used to deliver cancer drugs directly to tumors.
- These hydrogels can be designed to release the drugs slowly over time, targeting the cancer cells while minimizing side effects on healthy cells.
- Researchers are exploring ways to make hydrogel-based drug delivery systems even more effective, such as by incorporating additional therapeutic agents or using them in combination with other cancer treatments.
