Abstract
A hydroxyapatite based bioresorbable material is incorporated with anti-cancer agents to form an implant used for treatment against cancer. Sustained release of the anti-cancer agents may be achieved after implantation at the targeted sites. The dosage of the anti-cancer agent, the microstructure, morphology, and composition of the bioresorbable material allow control of the release profile. The invented implant may be used for drug delivery, chemotherapy, or gene therapy.
