According to scientific literatures, cancers have been found to be the major causes of death among human and more than 70% people dying due to cancer. Lung cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, colorectal, stomach are the 5 most common sites of cancer found in men while breast cancer, colorectal, cervix, lung and stomach are the 5most common sites of cancer found in women. Modern medicines are currently employed to treat cancer but often produce serious side effects which may not be able to cure later. Traditional medicines have potent action against different type cancers without or less side effects. Plant species like vinca rosea and zingiberaceous plants have been used since ancient times in traditional medicine to prevent and treat different types of cancer. Among them, Curcuma longa belongs to zingiberaceous family, has Curcuminoids a bioactive principle present in them which is responsible for anti cancer activity reported by several research articles. Further, curcumin has a range of therapeutic effects like chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory, anti-metastatic which helps to treat different types of cancers effectively. This review provides an overview of curcumins loaded nanparticles and its potent anti cancer activity.
