Abstract
A method of treating a gynecological malignancy includes introducing an implant within a uterus of a patient and positioning the implant adjacent to an endometrium of the uterus to enable a bioactive agent supported on the implant to treat the gynecological malignancy. The implant may be one or more deployable implants including a balloon, an IUD, a stent, or combinations thereof. Such implants may be introduced by one or more surgical instruments.
