Abstract: Cancer incidence and mortality rates are aggressively progressing worldwide, clearly announcing all current cancer therapeutic modalities as deficient with high side effects and recurrence rates. Recently, nanotechnology is identified as a promising field that could bring hope into cancer therapy. Graphene oxide-gold nanoparticles (rGO-AuNPs) nanocomposite is one of the drug delivery system (DDS) that are being investigated heavily and proved to present better bioavailability, efficiency, and cancer-specificity than conventional drugs. rGO-AuNPs composite itself was recently identified to own anti-cancer properties, which further explains the superiority of this DDS in cancer treatment. Many studies have reported utilizing various reducing agents for the synthesis of this composite. However, reducing agents toxicity and AuNPs dispensability presented a major challenge.
