👉 Chemotherapy is almost exclusively administered intravenously (IV) which has serious limitations:
➡️Patient discomfort (central route🩸, catheter failure…)
➡️Frequent hospital stays🏥, trained staff🩺👨‍⚕️needed…
➡️Costly (and cost will 📈 as new cancer cases will 📈)

What about other administration routes?
➡️Oral route 💊: very restrictive. Low and variable bioavailability. Chemo requires precise dosing.
➡️Subcutaneous (SC) route 💉: not possible for vesicant/irritant drugs because of skin ulceration 🚨 and even necrosis ☠️
