What are the Advantages of Continuous Drug Delivery?
The primary advantages of continuous drug delivery in cancer treatment include:
Improved Efficacy: By maintaining a consistent drug level, continuous delivery can enhance the therapeutic effects against tumor cells. Reduced Side Effects: Steady drug levels can minimize the peaks and troughs associated with traditional delivery methods, reducing toxicity and side effects. Patient Compliance: Continuous delivery systems can simplify treatment regimens, making it easier for patients to adhere to their therapy. Targeted Delivery: Some systems, such as polymeric nanoparticles, can specifically target cancer cells, sparing healthy tissues and further reducing side effects.
