What are the Advantages of Using Microspheres in Cancer Therapy?
The primary advantages of using microspheres in cancer therapy include:
Targeted Drug Delivery: Microspheres can be engineered to target specific cancer cells, thereby reducing damage to healthy tissues. Controlled Release: They provide a controlled release of the drug, which can enhance the therapeutic efficacy and reduce the frequency of dosing. Reduced Side Effects: By delivering the drug directly to the tumor, microspheres minimize systemic exposure and associated side effects. Biodegradability: Many microspheres are made from biodegradable materials, which degrade into non-toxic byproducts that are easily eliminated from the body.
