Conventional therapeutic techniques for brain tumours have limitations and side effects, necessitating the need for alternative treatment options. MRI-monitored therapeutic hydrogel systems show potential as a non-surgical approach for brain tumour treatment. Hydrogels have unique physical and chemical properties that make them promising for brain tumour treatment, including the ability to encapsulate therapeutic agents, provide sustained and controlled drug release, and overcome the blood-brain barrier for better penetration.
