Abstract
Bioerodible polymeric implants have been used for the delivery of a range of anticancer drugs [1–5]. These devices are favorable for clinical use because the device is eliminated from the brain after the drug has been depleted. Most studies have been conducted by Brem and co-workers using poly(l,3-p-carboxyphenoxypropane-sebacic acid) [P(CPP-SA)] as drug carrier [4–11].
