Oxygen nanocarrier (A/D‐ONC) with a polymeric core entrapping hemoglobin and a cationic lipid shell absorbing a DOX‐intercalating DNA duplex is developed. After endocytosis oxygenated A/D‐ONC donates O 2 to cancer cells that acts therapeutically by: (1) increasing intracellular ATP content that promotes DOX release, thereby converting ATP to the trigger of detrimental chemotherapy; (2) by synchronously increasing the ROS amount to amplify the lethality to cancer cells.
