Cancer is one of the major diseases with extremely high mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020.Even though immense research has been done in this domain, a need to develop effective therapeutic strategies still exists.Chemotherapeutic drugs form a crucial part of anti-cancer therapy. The current study summarizes the traditional and recentlydeveloped novel therapeutic drugs for advanced and effective cancer treatment with this perspective. Advanced cancertreatments involve photodynamic therapy, targeted therapy, Stem cell therapy, Gene therapy, and hormonal therapy to mitigateCancer. Photodynamic therapy is a special type of cancer treatment in which a person is injected with a unique light-sensitivedrug that stays in the cancer cells for a long time to maintain normal health. Stem cell therapy is advanced for cancer therapyand more effective than other therapies. Stem cells are used to regenerate damaged tissues. About 2000 gene therapy clinicalinvestigations are ongoing in cancer research and therapy. Mostly involved with chemo sensing genes and expression of wildtype tumor suppressor genes. The reported advanced treatments may have more effective and targeted treatments andprevention strategies than conventional treatments. We believe this review will provide the readers with the current state-ofthe-art knowledge of anti-cancer drugs and open the horizon for further development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics.
