A method of treating a specific site in a mammal with a drug comprises (a) providing a carrier material which reflects or absorbs or emits electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations enabling the monitoring of the carrier material, (b) providing a drug associated with the carrier material, (c) providing a targeting agent associated with the carrier material, the targeting agent being capable of binding to the specific site in the mammal, (d) delivering the carrier material and the drug to the specific site in the mammal, and (e) monitoring the mammal to detect arrival of the carrier material at the specific site. A local and site-specific drug delivery system for delivering a drug to a specific site within an individual comprises a carrier material which reflects or absorbs or emits electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations enabling the monitoring of the carrier material, a drug associated with the carrier material, and a targeting agent associated with the carrier material that delivers the carrier material and the drug to a specific site within the individual, the targeting agent being capable of binding to the specific site within the individual. |
