A Detailed Review on the Recent Trends in Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Abstract

Breast cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with high prevalence and mortality rates among women worldwide. Conventional treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, often face limitations such as toxicity, drug resistance, and non-specific targeting. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising alternative to overcome these challenges. Nanoparticles offer unique advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, such as targeted drug delivery, reduced systemic toxicity, and improved therapeutic efficacy. This review highlights recent advances in nanoparticle-based strategies for breast cancer treatment, focusing on their design, functionalization, and therapeutic applications.
