Preventing tumor recurrence after surgical resection of a brain tumor is a significant clinical challenge because current methods deliver chemotherapeutic agents in a rapid manner and are not effective against the residual tumor cells. To overcome this drawback, we report a simple method to prepare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) traceable ultra-thermosensitive hydrogels with rapid gelation ability from aqueous solution within 4 s at 28 °C for hydrophilic (epirubicin, EPI) and hydrophobic (paclitaxel, PTX) drugs co-delivery with bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) incorporation. The results showed the average survival of gliosarcoma-bearing (MBR 614 or U87) mice receiving BSA/PTX NPs incorporated hydrogel Gd /EPI increased to 63 days or 69 days with no tumor recurrence observed. Our synergistic strategy presents a new approach to the development of a local drug delivery system for the prevention of brain tumor recurrence.
