Immune cells, inherently adept at navigating the body’s defense systems and homing to tumor sites, present an excellent solution as Trojan horses for cancer nanotherapy. This review explores the utilization of immune cells as carriers or mediators of nanoparticle-based therapeutics. The Trojan horse strategy is presented in the context of nanomedicine and cancer, followed by a discussion of its advantages. Next, the diversity of nanoparticle systems that have shown positive therapeutic outcomes in preclinical studies is explored. The challenges of using immune cells as Trojan horses, such as nanoparticle loading and manipulation, are analyzed. Finally, strategies for fine-tuning nanoparticles to design an effective Trojan horse approach are suggested.
