Summary

This research explores an injectable, thermosensitive hydrogel to deliver plant-based anticancer drugs for cervical cancer. By stabilizing phytochemicals and enabling localized, controlled release, the hydrogel significantly improves tumor cell killing while reducing side effects, offering a more patient-centered and effective treatment strategy.
