A chemotherapeutic composition can be configured for subcutaneous administration for preferential intralymphatic accumulation while also providing a therapeutic systemic concentration that is not toxic. The composition can include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a nanoconjugate configured for preferential intralymphatic accumulation after subcutaneous administration. The nanoconjugate can include a nanocarrier configured for preferential intralymphatic accumulation after subcutaneous or interstitial administration, and a plurality of chemotherapeutic agents coupled to the nanocarrier. The nanoconjugate can have a dimension of about 10 nm to about 50 nm. Also, the nanoconjugate can be loaded with the chemotherapeutic agents from about 10% to about 50% w/w. The nanocarrier can be a hyaluronan polymer of about 3 kDa to about 50 kDa. Alternatively, the nanocarrier can be a dendrimer.
