Nano sized particles are able to target and destroy cancer cells faster than normal sized drug particles and with less damage to surrounding tissue cells.
For example both Doxil and Abraxane enable more targeted delivery of existing chemotherapy through a special coating that evades attack by a persons immune system; this allows a more precise delivery of drugs to the cancer cells, while simultaneously reducing the side effects
In this case nano simply implies smaller than micro and refers to the size at which the drugs and chemicals are being manipulated; it does not refer to nano-bots (which would just mean robots smaller than micro)
The nanobots are equipped with a vaccine or a 'weapon' that can kill cancer cells. It is then injected into you and can either be controlled by doctors or has Artificial Intelligence, and can wipe out the cancer cells.
(This is Science Fiction; modern science has yet to fully develop usable nano-bots on this small a scale)
