Abstract
The purpose of this review paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of hydrogels in cancer therapy. This aims to explore the definition of hydrogels and their unique characteristics of hydrogel, role of hydrogel in cancer therapy, cancer therapy treatment approaches, challenges in cancer therapy, that make them suitable for use in cancer treatment. It seeks to emphasize on the integration of innovative approaches and new technologies in addressing the challenges of conventional cancer therapies and to highlight their potential to revolutionize cancer treatment approaches. The review will delve into different types of hydrogels, methods of preparation of hydrogel including natural and synthetic hydrogels, providing insights into their characteristics, synthesis methods, and tenability. Furthermore, it will examine the diverse applications of hydrogels in cancer therapy, such as drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, localized therapy, and combination therapies.
