Abstract

As drug delivery devices, microneedles are used widely in the local administration of various drugs. Such drug-loaded microneedles are minimally invasive, almost painless, and have high drug delivery efficiency. In recent decades, with advancements in microneedle technology, an increasing number of adaptive, engineered, and intelligent microneedles have been designed to meet increasing clinical needs. This article summarizes the types, preparation materials, and preparation methods of microneedles, as well as the latest research progress in the application of microneedles in tumor drug delivery. This article also discusses the current challenges and improvement strategies in the use of microneedles for tumor drug delivery.
