Imagine taking anti-cancer drugs, therapies, or procedures that don't leave you with side effects like hair loss: This is the future that hydrogels promise.
In addition to being responsive to things like pH and temperature, hydrogels control the release of the anti-cancer drugs by shrinking or swelling, depending on the acidity of the tumor environment.
“In cases where tumor resection has been carried out, that is removal of cancerous tissues with small incisions, hydrogels are applied to those areas to attack cells unseen to the naked eye and improve the healing process as well,” he says. Another way of treating malignancy is through a combination of nanoparticles and hydrogels, De Angulo says.. The chemo will delay the healing from the surgery,” he says. “However, the hydrogel will heal the wound faster, while the nanoparticles will show a radiologist the tumors to detect if it’s a post-surgical change or if there is a microscopic disease left behind.”Despite these advantages of hydrogel, it has limits.
