Cancer is one of the most devastating and ubiquitous human diseases. Conventional therapies like chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the most widely used cancer treatments. Despite the notable therapeutic improvements that these measures achieve, disappointing therapeutic outcome and cancer reoccurrence commonly following these therapies demonstrate the need for better alternatives. Among them, bacterial therapy has proven to be effective in its intrinsic cancer targeting ability and various therapeutic mechanisms that can be further bolstered by nanotechnology. In this review, we will discuss recent advances of nanotechnology-facilitated bacteria-based drug and gene delivery systems in cancer treatment. Therapeutic mechanisms of these hybrid nanoformulations are highlighted to provide an up-to-date understanding of this emerging field.

Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, nanoparticles are used in a variety of ways in the field of cancer treatment, including imaging, drug delivery, and photothermal and photodynamic therapies. The fascinating properties of nanoparticles are determined by their size, morphology, and constituent elements, and various synthetic methods and post-synthetic techniques have been applied to control these factors. Herein, we present examples of shape and composition control through galvanic replacement, a technique that exploits redox potential differences between elements to induce spontaneous ion-exchange and highlight its specific contributions to cancer treatment applications. The present article identifies the recent advances in nanoparticle formation techniques and discusses the future outlook of the field.
