As an important endogenous signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO) is involved in various physiological and pathological activities in living organisms. It is proved that NO plays a critical role in tumor therapy, while the extremely short half-life and nonspecific distribution of NO greatly limit its further clinical applications. Thus, the past few decades have witnessed the progress made in conquering these shortcomings, including developing innovative NO donors, especially smart and multi modal nanoplatforms. These platforms can precisely control the spatiotemporal distribution of therapeutic agents in the organism, which make big differences in tumor treatment. Here current NO therapeutic mechanisms for cancer, NO donors from small molecules to smart-responsive nanodrug delivery platforms, and NO based combination therapy are comprehensively reviewed, emphasizing outstanding breakthroughs in these fields and hoping to bring new insights into NO-based tumor treatments.
