Recent advances in spatio-temporally controllable systems for management of glioma

Le résumé fourni par la source

Malignant glioma remains one of the most aggressive intracranial tumors with devastating clinical outcomes despite the great advances in conventional treatment approaches, including surgery and chemotherapy. Spatio-temporally controllable approaches to glioma are now being actively investigated due to the preponderance, including spatio-temporal adjustability, minimally invasive, repetitive properties, etc. External stimuli can be readily controlled by adjusting the site and density of stimuli to exert the cytotoxic on glioma tissue and avoid undesired injury to normal tissues. It is worth noting that the removability of external stimuli allows for on-demand treatment, which effectively reduces the occurrence of side effects. In this review, we highlight recent advancements in drug delivery systems for spatio-temporally controllable treatments of glioma, focusing on the mechanisms and design principles of sensitizers utilized in these controllable therapies. Moreover, the potential challenges regarding spatio-temporally controllable therapy for glioma are also described, aiming to provide insights into future advancements in this field and their potential clinical applications.
