The present disclosure relates to biodegradable ureteral stents comprising an anti-cancer drug, and to a composition for use in medicine that may be used to ensure patency of a channel, namely a mammal ureter, for example, an obstructed ureter by a urinary stone, neoplasia or by a surgical procedure. The biodegradable ureteral stents (BUS) disclosed in the present disclosure unexpectedly allow a proper release of anti-cancer drugs, thus extending the duration of the treatment and increasing the efficacy of the treatment. 本公开涉及包含抗癌药物的生物可降解输尿管支架，并且涉及可用于确保通道的通畅性的药物中使用的组合物，通道即哺乳动物输尿管，例如尿结石、瘤形成或外科手术阻塞的输尿管。本公开中公开的生物可降解输尿管支架(BUS)出乎意料地允许适当释放抗癌药物，因此延长了治疗的持续时间并提高了治疗的效果。
