New 3D-printed dissolvable patch offers potential skin cancer treatment
A team at Queen's University has created a 3D-printed microneedle patch that dissolves, allowing for the direct delivery of curcumin and 5-fluorouracil to specific areas of skin cancer. This innovation aims to make therapy more precise, less invasive, and more comfortable. It also helps minimize the need for frequent topical treatments, lowers the danger of needle-stick injuries, and cuts down on medical waste, though the technology still requires additional clinical trials.
