The principal opportunity of uptaking weakly crosslinked hydrogel emboli is shown by Doxorubicin at different temperatures. The optimal process time is 1.5–2.5 h. It is revealed that Doxorubicin is capable to diffuse from a polymeric matrix, having targeted medical effect on surrounding tissue and reducing side impacts on other organs.
