Abstract

Nanoparticles are crucial in enhancing breast cancer diagnosis and treatment globally. Researchers use nanoparticles to address issues like drug resistance and non-specific drug distribution, improving drug delivery efficiency and enabling early detection of metastatic disease. Integrating nanoparticles into existing treatments like photo thermal therapy and immunotherapy shows promise in improving outcomes in breast cancer care. However, challenges such as ensuring chemical feasibility, assessing nanoparticle safety, and navigating regulatory pathways must be addressed for successful clinical translation. This review evaluates current nanoparticle research in breast cancer therapy, highlighting innovative applications and addressing limitations and obstacles for effective clinical use. It offers a comprehensive perspective on the future of nanoparticle-based strategies in improving breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, considering both potential benefits and challenges.
