Online Published on 10 October, 2023. Abstract Cancer is intense fitness trouble that is still considered to be the main reason for its demise worldwide. Nanotechnology considered as rising disciplines in technology and generation, which may be implemented to synthesize new materials on the nanoscale level. The application of nanotechnology in the treatment of several types of cancers has acquired a significant interest in current years. Cancer nanotechnology is an upcoming unique technique with vast application towards most cancers thru in time diagnosis, estimation and inhibition with the help of personalized medications. Plant occurring natural compounds considered as phytochemicals, crucial assets for most cancers remedy. Some traditional examples consist of curcumin, resveratrol, flavonoids, celastrol, berberine, camptothecins, vinca alkaloids (vincristine and vinblastine), taxol derivatives, and podophyllotoxin derivatives. These phytoconstituents directly act on molecular pathways that are inhibiting in increase and development of several cancers. Phytochemicals used in foods, supplements, and prescribed drugs is inadequate because of lower bioavailability, low solubility, less therapeutic efficacy, and stability problem. To get rid of these issues a modern and advanced novel delivery technique has been developed. These naturally occurring phytochemicals can be incorporated in the form of liposomes, niosomes, nanosomes, nanoparticles, and nanoemulsions to produce better therapeutic efficacy against cancer. This review focuses on the recent advancement and development of nanophytoconstituents in cancer therapy.
