Cancer is characterized by anomalous cell growth. Conventional therapies face many challenges and hence alternative treatment methods are in great demand. In addition, nature offers the best inspiration and recently many therapies of natural origin have proved multi-targeted, multi-staged, and a multi-component mode of action against cancer. Magnetotactic bacteria and magnetosomes-based treatment methods are among them. Present paper reviews various routes by which magnetotactic bacteria and magnetosomes contribute to cancer therapy.
