What Role Does Absorption Play in Cancer Treatment?
Absorption is a key factor in the effectiveness of cancer treatments, particularly in the administration of chemotherapy and targeted therapies. The absorption of drugs can be influenced by factors such as the formulation of the drug, the route of administration, and the presence of transport proteins. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been developed to improve absorption by enhancing the permeability and retention effect in tumors. Ensuring efficient absorption can enhance the therapeutic index of anti-cancer drugs, minimizing side effects while maximizing efficacy.
