Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease and remains global health challenge affecting millions of human lives worldwide. Despite advancements in conventional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, the rise multidrug resistance, tumor recurrence, their severe side effects complex nature microenvironment (TME) necessitates innovative therapeutic approaches. Recently, stimulus-responsive nanomedicines designed to target TME characteristics (e.g., pH alterations, redox conditions, enzyme secretion) have gained attention for potential enhance anticancer efficacy while minimizing adverse chemotherapeutics/bioactive compounds. Among various nanocarriers, hydrogels are intriguing due high-water content, adjustable mechanical characteristics, responsiveness external internal stimuli, making them promising candidates cancer therapy. These properties make an ideal nanocarrier controlled drug release within TME. This review comprehensively surveys latest area therapy, exploring stimuli-responsive mechanisms, including biological pH, redox), chemical enzymes, glucose), physical temperature, light), as well dual- or multi-stimuli responsiveness. Furthermore, this addresses current developments challenges treatment.
