“…Microspheres are spherical, micrometer-sized spheres with a wide range of applications in medical and industrial fields. ,, Importantly, microspheres exhibit unique physicochemical properties, including specific surface area, porosity, and surface reactivity, which make them attractive for numerous applications, particularly for those related to drug delivery and interventional therapies. Drug-loaded microspheres, also called drug-eluting beads (DEBs), are typically employed to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs directly to the tumor site, leading to tumor cell death and suppressed tumor growth due to chemotherapeutic toxicity, local ischemia, and necrosis. , Microsphere-loaded drugs can be released continuously at the embolized site at a relatively slow rate, thus killing tumor cells over a prolonged period.…”
