description Abstract Since the discovery of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with enzyme-like activity in 2007, nanozymes have emerged as a promising class of catalysts, offering advantages such as high catalytic efficiency, low cost, mild reaction conditions, and excellent stability. These properties make nanozymes highly suitable for large-scale production. In recent years, the convergence of nanomedicine and nanocatalysis has highlighted the potential of nanozymes in diagnostic and therapeutic applications, particularly in tumor therapy. Despite these advancements, the clinical translation of nanozymes remains hindered by the lack of designs tailored to specific tumor characteristics, limiting their effectiveness in targeted therapy. This review addresses the mechanisms by which nanozymes induce cell death in various tumor types and emphasizes the key design considerations needed to enhance their therapeutic potential. By identifying the challenges and opportunities in the field, this study aims to provide a foundation for future nanozyme development, ultimately contributing to more precise and effective cancer treatments.
