Nanomaterials have some remarkable thermal, optical, electrical properties showing excellent prospects in the application of cancer therapy, where nanomaterials can be ultilised to not only detect and inhibit tumors but also deliver the drugs. Organic and inorganic nanomaterials are mentioned in this research, including noble metal nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials, carbon nanomaterials, quantum dots, liposomes and polymeric nanomaterials. According to the features of different kinds of nanomaterials, different functionalisations can be designed such as the photoactive or photodynamics treating platforms to damage the tumor. The strengths and challenges of each types of nanomaterials applied in cancer treating indicates the a broad development space and research direction in the future.
