In article number 2001212 by Huile Gao, Xianchun Chen, and co‐workers, recent progress of self‐propelled micro/nanomotors for tumor drug delivery is reviewed. The self‐propelled force facilitates micro/nanomotors with autonomous movement, and therefore exhibit potential of enhanced efficiency in each step of drug delivery, which includes circulation in the blood, tumor targeting, deep tumor penetration, cellular internalization, and drug release. The combination therapy with micro/nanomotors greatly enhances anti‐tumor efficacy.
