Capsaicin exhibits strong anti-cancer properties in various cancer types. The combination of capsaicin with conventional chemotherapy drugs or radiotherapy can improve the sensitivity, reduce the side effects and enhance the tolerance of patients to cancer treatment. The development of capsaicin-loaded nanoparticles may provide a very promising approach to chemotherapy for malignant tumours.
