N2  - Cancer is a lethal disease caused by damage in the genetic material (i.e.  DNA) which leads to uncontrollable cell division. Chemotherapy is one of  the three main methods of cancer treatment including surgical interference  and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is characterized with its applicability to all  types and stages of cancer. The major problem associated with chemotherapy  is the inability to deliver pharmaceuticals to a specific site of the body  without inducing normal tissue toxicity. As a consequence, the development  of an alternative modalities using {u2018}Natural anticancer agents{u2019} open up new  avenue for future cancer therapy due to their safety. Curcumin is one of the  most promising natural anticancer agents, however, its medical application  has been limited by its poor water solubility and bioavailability. Attempts  have been made to encapsulate curcumin in different carriers, but the interest  in nanocarriers for cancer chemotherapy is growing to develop a  biodegradable controlled drug delivery vehicles that improve the  bioavailability and solubility of curcumin
