The lack of effective diagnostic and therapeutic techniques is a crucial cause the high clinical mortality for malignancy. Notably, self-propelled micro/nanomotors are expected to address drawbacks by conventional nanoparticles in tumor diagnosis therapy. special locomotion property ensures efficiency on rapid distribution, deep penetration targeting delivery. Hence, this review, motion mechanism controllability speed direction were described, as well advantages regarding enhancement biological barrier crossing (overcoming blood flow obstacles, microenvironment barriers), delivery tumor. most recent advances micro/nanomotor contributions comprehensively summarized various medical imaging technologies, biosensing techniques, approaches, especially combination therapy integration treatment based multifunctional micro/nanomotors. Furthermore, challenges developing practical discussed along with future directions from clinicians' perspective, which promised up translation process contribute efficient
