Abstract

The use of biodegradable polymer implants to deliver cisplatin was compared with delivery by systemic injection and by osmotic pump. Drug levels in the tumor were found to be higher than those in the blood and kidney when the drug was delivered using the polymer implant. In contrast, for the other two delivery methods blood and kidney cisplatin levels were greater than those in the tumor. It has been previously shown that tumor response, in terms of growth delay, was greatest when drug was delivered by polymer implant and least when treatment was by osmotic pump.
