In recent years, tumors have posed a serious threat to human life and health. Although conventional treatments are widely used, they still have significant limitations. As a result, researchers have increasingly focused on nanotechnology to develop more efficient and precise treatment strategies. Natural nanomaterials, including naturally occurring nanoparticles, polymeric nanomaterials derived from natural products, and self-assembled nanomaterials from natural small molecules, have demonstrated broad prospects in the medical field due to their unique physicochemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. This article reviews the current applications and future potential of several commonly used natural organic nanomaterials in tumor diagnosis and treatment. Looking ahead, natural nanomaterials are expected to not only drive innovation in cancer therapeutics and diagnostics and introduce green sustainable concepts into nanomedicine, but also accelerate clinical translation, offering safer and more effective treatment solutions for patients.
