A strategy using for providing efficient intracerebral drug delivery treatment was developed and evaluated using a combination of regularly-structured biodegradable gel and Gd-containing micelles. The Gd-micelles are slowly released from the gel for several days in vitro. For an in vivo glioblastoma model, the micelles with the gel did not show any leakage to the ventricle and the micelles were slowly and continuously released from the gel for 2-3 days. We conclude that the proposed strategy has the potential to provide effective brain tumor treatment.
