“…Clinically, the intratumoral administration route may also be applicable during endoscopic manipulation. This approach can increase local drug concentrations in tumors and minimize systemic toxicity and has already been utilized as a palliative therapy to relieve symptoms and as an adjunct to systemic chemotherapy [ 31 33 ].…”
