From the birth of mankind, cancer is known as one of the most notorious and deadly diseases human kinds has ever faced on this earth. Many methods and ways are implemented to eliminate this disease and the number is still on the increasing side. It’s been a couple of decades that the idea of nanotechnology was first introduced, where nanoparticle is part of that. Cerium oxide nanoparticle also known as nanoceria is one of the metal oxide nanoparticles which holds promise to treat cancer effectively. Scientists have found fruitful result ignoring the drawbacks of this particular particle and there are ongoing researches to unlock the full potential of cerium oxide nanoparticle in the case of cancer treatment as well as eliminate its drawbacks.
