The Nitric oxide is a free radical belongs to reactive nitrogen species, acts as a signal molecule in many physiological and pathological processes as well as plays a significant role in a variety of biological processes including its action as a regulator to programmed cell death (apoptosis). In addition to its role in tumor formation, proliferation, and metastasis, Nitric oxide has also been stated to have tumoricidal effects. Therefore this review deals with the effect of nitric oxide on different types of cancer and its use in cancer drugs
