In Vitro Characterization of Cisplatin-loaded Superabsorbent Polymer Microspheres Designed for Chemoembolization

SAP was confirmed to absorb and elute cisplatin within 24 hours. When mixed with iohexol, SAP carried a ten times larger dose of cisplatin and expanded twice as large as when mixed with ioxaglic acid. Cisplatin-loaded SAP may have potential as a drug delivery system for the clinical treatment of liver tumors.
