Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are an important product from the nanotechnology field, they have gained interest due to their distinctive physicochemical properties includes; good electrical resistance, thermal and chemical stability that largely have been influenced by size, shape, surface properties and composition of AgNPs. Additionally, AgNPs have well-known biological activity, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammation properties and are also used in biomedical devices. Recently, AgNPs have emerged as a potential drug delivery carriers, particulary for enhancing the efficacy of cancer therapeutics. The objective of this narrative review is to compare of various AgNPs preparation methods, with focus on up-to-date approaches. The properties and characterization methods of AgNPs are briefly discussed. The anticancer role of AgNPs both, as individual nanoparticles or as carriers, is summarized. Furthermore, the proper functionalization of silver surface to carry various anticancer agents to enhance their efficacy is reported.
