Research Article: Temperature-Sensitive Nanocarbon Hydrogel for Photothermal Therapy of Tumors
Abstract:
Although great progress has been made in cancer research in recent years both locally and internationally, cancer is still the largest health burden worldwide. Due to the high rates of cancer mortality and morbidity, more effective cancer treatments are always being sought, whether from the three traditional treatment modalities of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or from emerging strategies, including immunotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), sonodynamic therapy and others, and certain achievements have been made.– Recently, designing injectable in situ hydrogels with sustained drug release have become increasingly common innovations.– Hydrogels are a three-dimensional netted polymers composed of hydrophilic polymer chains that are formed by physical or chemical crosslinking methods. Hydrogels have the benefits of a soft and wet surface and a high affinity for tissue, but are a weak irritant to the body. As a result, hydrogels have exceptional biocompatibility and broad application potential in tissue engineering and sustained medication release applications.,
