“…As an alternative to systemic adjuvant therapy, local drug delivery systems (DDSs) [5,[9][10][11] have been designed to be implanted directly into the tumor bed after surgery and provide sustained drug release to the tumor site, which can overcome drug transport barriers and reduce side effects as well as improve patient adherence [12] DDSs are responsible for drug delivery in a specific way, either by attacking tumor cells directly and exclusively or by leading conventional drugs to the affected organ [11]. Some examples of DDSs are patches [13,14], hydrogels [15,16], nanoparticles, even using new carriers such as MCM-41, MCM-48, or SBA-15 [17][18][19][20][21], or electrospun meshes [8,9,[22][23][24]. Compared to traditional systemic or regional chemotherapy, local administration of the drug using a drug-eluting scaffold reduces the dose required to achieve a comparable anti-cancer effect by approximately two-thirds [8].…”
