Slow release depot therapy can be done in the oncology department of a tertiary care hospital.
Slow-release depot therapy is mainly applied to solid tumors, such as liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer and so on. Therefore, patients should go to the Department of Oncology of hospitals for consultation after falling ill, complete relevant auxiliary examinations under the guidance of doctors, evaluate the patient’s condition and choose appropriate treatment plans.
Under the guidance of ultrasound, CT and other images, slow-release depot therapy combines anti-cancer drugs with special reagents, injects the drugs into tumor tissues, and then slowly releases the anti-cancer drugs, so that the drugs stay in the tumor for a longer period of time, and continuously releases the drugs out.
On the basis of ensuring the therapeutic effect, slow-release depot therapy reduces patients’ pain, significantly prolongs their lives and improves their quality of life.
