•Site-specific administration is key for optimizing anticancer drug administration; self-healing hydrogels may allow this at reasonable costs and reproducibility.•Self-healing hydrogels have several real-world therapeutic applications, including drug administration.•Self-healing hydrogels are yet to be utilized for chemotherapy drug administration in clinical trials.•Clinical research on using self-healing hydrogels in anticancer therapeutics is feasible and valid compared to other advances in anticancer drug administration.
•特定部位给药是优化抗癌药物给药的关键;自修复水凝胶可能以合理的成本和可重复性实现这一点。
•自修复水凝胶有多种实际治疗应用,包括药物给药。
•自修复水凝胶尚未在临床试验中用于化疗药物给药。
•与抗癌药物给药的其他进展相比,使用自修复水凝胶进行抗癌治疗的临床研究是可行且有效的。
