ABSTRACT
Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with skin cancer being one of the most prevalent types. Traditional treatments often face limitations, including severe side effects due to the lack of tumor selectivity in many chemotherapeutic agents. This paper explores the potential of nano-drug delivery systems that incorporate natural bioactive compounds for the treatment of skin cancer. By leveraging the unique properties of nanoparticles, such as enhanced solubility, stability, and targeted delivery, these systems can improve therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. The role of Ayurvedic medicine and its use of phytochemicals is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of integrating traditional knowledge with modern nanotechnology. The review discusses various types of nanoparticles and herbal formulations that enhance drug delivery and presents a promising approach to optimizing skin cancer treatments. Future challenges in this field include further research on safety, efficacy, and the pharmacological validation of Ayurvedic practices. Overall, the combination of natural compounds with advanced nanotechnology offers a novel pathway to improve outcomes in skin cancer therapy.
