7.1 Introduction
Cancer is recognized as a serious issue, leading to a large number of worldwide deaths and post-treatment trauma. Cancer mortality in 2020 was considered to be around 52% of all cancer patients reported by an international agency for cancer research, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the cancer deaths are almost one-sixth of worldwide deaths (Sung et al. continue to increase until 2040, and cancer deaths will reach 13.1 million cases in 2030 (Sung et al.
2021; Anirudhan and Mohan 2014). Literally, most cancer
patients could survive with medicines and therapeutics if there are early diagnoses and treatments. It is well known that a one-size-fits-all treatment is not effective in cancer treatments (Li et al.
2021). This is because cancer cells mostly originate
from mutated epithelial cells in any organ or tissue that abnormally grow and spread to others, which make cancer heterogeneous between patients and is considered a variability factor in treatment. Therein, a precise diagnosis and a specific treatment

during the early stage of the cancer are highly desirable to cure it and prevent its mortality.
With capabilities of individual formation, unlimited design and various useable materials, additive manufacturing (AM), particularly three-dimensional (3D) print­ing, has attracted considerable interest in cancer treatments because it is able to provide personalized 3D models which enhance cancer treatments like surgery, and benefit to produce personal medicines (Haleem et al. Chen et al.
2020b). 3D printed structures have also provided precise positioning and

porous texture, both of which are advantageous in medical applications (Luo et al.
2019b). In addition, another advancement in 3D printing is the combination of 3D
printing and live cells to print medical parts, known as “bioprinting.” It is proposed as a proper tool to understand the complexity of the cancer microenvironment that is necessary for aspects of diagnosis and prognosis (Germain et al. et al.
2021). Even though 3D printing has facilitated advanced manufacturing, it is
2022; Augustine
still faced with limitations of static structures that cannot react or adjust according to environment (Agarwal et al. 2021). To address these challenges, dynamic 3D constructs that respond to environmental stimuli have emerged as a new pathway to enhance diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment strategies in cancer therapies. Cer­tainly, the fabrications of dynamic constructers use smart materials in manufacturing to allow printed constructs to respond to stimuli such as heat, light, magnetic field, pH value, or enzyme, resulting in a transformation in shape, properties, or function over time. This time variable has become the fourth dimension in manufacturing as four-dimensional (4D) printing which was firstly revealed by Skylar Tibbits at Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) conference and in a journal article in 2013 (Tibbits various cancer treatments, including hyperthermia (Tang et al. therapy (Deng et al.

et al.
2022), organ models (Chadwick et al. 2020; Bodaghi and Zolfagharian 2022),
and devices (Osawa et al.
2020).
Herein, various smart materials used in the 4D printing technique for healthcare will be presented as responding to different stimuli, including physical, chemical, and biological stimuli. The significant role of 4D printing in cancer treatment will be further detailed through improved applications from 3D to 4D printing with the current progress of 3D printing, bioprinting, and 4D printing in each therapy such as hyperthermia, chemotherapy with anticancer/antitumor drug delivery systems, and pharmaceutical models. Future perspectives are finally proposed, along with a conclusion.
7.1.1 Smart Materials
4D printing is not a straightforward method that uses only manufacturing processes. It is based on the existing 3D printing technologies and requires smart materials in the production of dynamic architectures (Khalid et al.
2022). In 4D printing, smart
7 4D Printing: The Next Dimension of Healthcare in Cancer Research 241
materials enable printed architectures responding to specific stimuli, and they play essential roles to obtain desired shapes, functions, or property changes (Naniz et al.
2022), such as shape transformation (Kim and Lee 2018; Wang et al. 2021),
self-heating (Tang et al. or properties (Ceylan et al.
2021; Deng et al. 2022), self-clamping (Hu et al. 2022),
2019). With the potentials of smart materials integrated
into 3D printing, the dynamic structures play great alternatives in cancer treatments. This topic focuses on the stimulus responsiveness of smart materials in healthcare that are represented in the term “stimuli-responsive materials” as following physical (temperature, light, magnetic field), chemical (pH value, ion concentration), and biological (enzyme) stimuli. The next section explains how these smart materials are employed in cancer treatment will be considered in the next topic.
7.1.1.1 Physical Stimuli
Physical stimuli, including temperature, light, humidity, magnetic field, electrical field, pressure force, and water have often induced changes to an object by physical arrangements (Sahafnejad-Mohammadi et al.
2022). We will present current details
of temperature, light, and magnetic field stimuli since they have been considerably applied in 4D printing for cancer treatments.
Temperature-Responsive Materials
Temperature-responsive materials have been commonly used in 4D printing and have gained widespread applications in healthcare. These materials can be activated by temperature, which is used to achieve shape transformation by directly heating above their transition temperatures (T
), resulting in an increase in
trans
the entropy (Zhou et al. 2020; Moroni et al. 2022). Temperature-driven dynamic architectures can be found in both internal and external environments (Arif et al.
2022). Common thermo-responsive materials mentioned in healthcare are poly(N-
isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), gelatin (Gel), polyethylene glycols (PEGs), polyurethane (PU), poly(lactic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) (P(DLLA-TMC)), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) (Arif et al.
2022; Wang et al. 2020). Among these
materials, PNIPAM is commonly used in biomedical applications (Wang et al.
2022). For example, Zu et al. (2022) demonstrated the fabrication of PNIPAM-
based drug capsules enabling multidrug encapsulation. The drug capsules were inspired by a plant stoma and produced using an extrusion-based printer with ultraviolet (UV)-cross-linking curing. The shape morphing of capsules was operated by shrinking/swelling properties (Fig. sensitivity at around 34.9

2018) printed a bifurcated stent with a kirigami structure
based on shape memory PU, which provides a switchable shape between a thin sheet and an expanded form under temperature changes, as seen in Fig. 7.1b.

In addition, Gel is another material widely applied in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields because of its biocompatibility and biodegradability (Anirudhan and Mohan
2014; Omer et al. 2021). It is able to induce dynamic structures
through reversible gel-sol transitions, such as the sol-gel transformation of 70% gel concentration in Fig. (PDA), which provided a potential photothermal conversion (Wei et al.
7.1c. To more illustrate, gel was combined with polydopamine
2020). Core-
shell fiber hydrogels, which contained PDA/alginate (Alg) with concentrations of
15.3%wt Alg as the shell layer and 70%w/v of gel as the core layer, presented excellent responsive performance with a photothermal effect. The temperature was rapidly raised to 53 infrared (NIR) laser irradiation of 0.6 and 0.8 Wcm

Many temperature-responsive materials have been employed in combination with other smart materials to receive multifunctional structures through a magnetother­mal or photothermal effect. To illustrate, PNIPAM incorporated with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe facilitates local cancer treatment with hyperthermia (Tang et al.
) was fabricated to present the magnetothermal effect that

PU incorporated with metal nanoparticles was used to perform the photothermal effect (Deng et al.
2022).
Light-Responsive Materials
Light-responsive materials in 4D printing play a crucial role in healthcare because they provide exposure location and minimal invasiveness for individual treatments. These materials, which consist of stilbene, derivatives of nitrobenzene, azobenzene, fulgide, spiropyran, or photosensitive-nanometals, have been triggered by light with different wavelengths, including UV, infrared (IR), NIR, leading to change the shapes and also generating heat through the photothermal effect (Arif et al.
2022). The NIR has been immensely interested in applications in healthcare
7 4D Printing: The Next Dimension of Healthcare in Cancer Research 243
because of tissue penetration depth and lower self-heating in tissue, especially in a region of the second NIR (He et al.
2021; Zhang et al. 2021). PDA is a main
component of melanin (Mel) that is biocompatible and biodegradable, and it enables light absorption in the NIR region of 700–1100 nm, which gains photothermal conversion reaching 40% (Sun et al.
2021). For instance, Luo et al. (2019a)
fabricated programmable cell-laden scaffolds comprising of Alg/PDA and cell­laden hydrogels based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA). The shape-morphing of scaffolds was induced by 808 nm NIR irradiation without significant damage to the cells. Besides, Mel has been presented as one of the light-responsive materials. In recent years, Mel has been employed in on-demand drug delivery for transporting insulin via the photothermal performance (Kim et al.
2022). 3D-printed multiunit
scaffolds were designed as a rectangular matrix consisting of multi-subunit sectors segregated by the polycaprolactone (PCL) axis, and each subunit was fabricated from PCL, lauric acid (LA), and Mel. Human insulin (hIn) was loaded into each unit, and it could be released from scaffolds because LA/PCL was melted by heat generated from Mel upon the light exposure on the subunit, as illustrated in Fig. performance upon 808 nm NIR irradiation at 1.5 W/cm from 21.9 ± 1.1

a synthetic pigment, has been reported to have excellent NIR absorption in a range of 1000–1350 nm, which enhances its photothermal effect. For example, 100 ppm of CaCuSi almost 55

Metal nanoparticles are photosensitive because of excellent light absorption that is almost originated by excited electron-hole pairs (Hartland et al. metal nanoparticles such as Pt, TiO localized heat for cancer treatments (Zhou et al. al. (

Although light-responsive materials are always required to have photosensitive elements, some polymers can be modified to have photosensitive characterizations (Arif et al.
2022). For instance, chitosan that is biocompatible, biodegradable,
antimicrobial, and antitumor was chemically modified in a photosensitive methacry­lamide without changes of polysaccharide chain, which its amino group (–NH2) was transferred with methacrylamide (Bozuyuk et al.
2018). This methacrylamide
chitosan (ChMA) was composed of 70% photosensitive methacrylamide groups and was presented as a photoinitiator in the 350 nm range of UV light.
Magnetic-Responsive Materials
Magnetic-responsive materials are essentially useful in 4D printing, which are used for various purposes including controllable locomotion (Hu et al.
2022; Ceylan et al.
2019), controllable shape transformation (Zhao et al. 2019; Wang et al. 2021), on-
demand drug release (Hu et al. for cancer treatment (Ganguly and Margel
2022; Shi et al. 2020a), and magnetic hyperthermia
2022; Tang et al. 2021). On the subject
of locomotion, these magnetic-responsive materials have allowed for safe and effective locomotion because of the use of external magnetic fields that provide accurate positioning and depth penetration. To be more specific, soft millirobots consisting of PNIPAM, NdFeB had achieved practical mobility through obstacles in stomach model (Hu et al. symmetrically three pairs which present symmetrical magnetic moments [M formed by magnetic field of external permanent magnet and generate M
2022). The starfish-like millirobots were designed as

caused by thermal expansion. This magnitude of magnetic moments was used in driving the robots, as seen in Fig.
7.3a. In fact, the amount of magnetic nanoparticle
relates to magnitude of magnetization, resulting in application efficiencies like the maximum speed of mobile robots. Certainly, higher amount will result in increasing swimming speeds; however, the higher amount resulted in inefficient 3D printability. It was reported that the threshold concentration of Fe
3O4
in helical microrobots providing homogeneously printed structures without any aggregation was at 5 mg/mL (Bozuyuk et al.
2018). Another purpose of the magnetic-responsive
applications is the control of shape transformation. For example, Zhao et al. (
2019) designed bioinspired tracheal scaffolds of shape memory polylactic acid
(PLA)/Fe
composites. The shape transformation of scaffolds was induced under
3O4
an alternating magnetic field (AMF) that appeared shape recovery within 35 seconds upon 30 kHz frequency of the magnetic field with an intensity of 4 kAm in Fig.
7.3b. Additionally, the ability of controllable shape transformation under a
−1
as shown
magnetic field has been used to achieve on-demand drug delivery by controlling only the opening/closing ends of hollow tube/fiber scaffolds (Wang et al.
2021).
These magnetic-responsive materials have always been incorporated with mag-
netic materials (Bodaghi and Zolfagharian
2022), especially magnetic nanoparticles.
The magnetic nanoparticles have been widely used in cancer therapies because of heat generation source in hyperthermia (Ganguly and Margel
2022). The magnetic
materials generate heat through energy conversions with different mechanisms from the dissipation of magnetic energy into thermal energy upon exposure to an AMF (Shaterabadi et al.
2018). To illustrate, a voltage induced in materials

Besides, heat can be generated by hysteresis lose and relaxation of magnetic moment alignment, like Brownian and Neel relaxation. Among these materials, superparamagnetic nanoparticles like Fe
are popular because of excellent magnetic interactions,

possibly leading to potential the magnetothermal effect, and abilities as good drug carriers at high concentration (Materón et al.
2021). Currently, Fe3O4 embedded in
PNIPAM hydrogel that placed on a printed elastomer layer was used to generate heat to kill cancer cells for hyperthermia (Tang et al.
2021). This Fe3O4/PNIPAM

magnetic-responsive materials in hyperthermia will be more thoroughly discussed in the topic of hyperthermia.
7.1.1.2 Chemical Stimuli
Chemical stimuli induce conversions under the action of chemicals and generally consist of pH changes and ionic concentrations (Chu et al.
2020). pH-responsive
materials respond to the pH variation with a swelling-shrinkage behavior, mostly occurring from protonation-deprotonation reaction (Yang et al.
2021). There are
two classes of functional groups in pH-responsive materials, including an acidic group containing –COOH and –SO
H bonds and a basic group containing a –NH
3
bond (Arif et al. 2022). Indeed, abnormal activities in body could be revealed by pH level. To be more specific, cancer tissue, including tumors, possesses a special surrounding because unnormal proliferation and metabolism of cancer cells make intra- and extracellular pH different from that of normal cells. Extracellular and intracellular environments of cancer cells exist with weak acidity (pH = 6.5–7.2) and lower acidity (pH = 4.5–6.5), respectively, while the pH level of normal cells is commonly maintained between 7.2 and 7.4, resulting in a pH gradient between cancer and normal sites (Yang et al.
2021). The pH gradient becomes an effective
variable for cancer detection in drug delivery and makes pH-sensitive materials desirable in a study of 4D printing in cancer treatments. Recently, Xin et al. (
2021)
fabricated pH-responsive hydrogels, which were inspired by the natural behaviors of fish, crabs, and butterflies, by using a one-step rapid process of femtosecond direct laser writing. The main components of pH-responsive hydrogels contained acrylic acid (AAc), dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate (DPEPA) as a crosslinker, and
4,4
-bis(diethylamino) benzophenone (EMK) as a photoinitiator (Fig. 7.4a). These hydrogel networks would be expanded in a pH > 9 environment by the deprotonation of the carboxyl group, and the shrinkage would happen because of protonation in a pH < 9. To achieve a programmable pH response, morphological changes were driven with a different expansion rate by a determination of porosity in each part of the microstructures as illustrated in Fig.
7.4b.
Another mechanism of chemical stimuli is equilibrium ion displacement, such
as that of zinc (Zn

), iron (Fe2+), and calcium (Ca2+) ions (Chu et al. 2020). Lai
