A REVIEW PAPER ON DRUGS FOR BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

Abstract

One of the most common causes of death for women worldwide is breast cancer. While chemotherapy is a treatment choice for most cancers, the three primary clinical methods for breast cancer treatment are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Nanotechnology apps for cancer therapies have gained a lot of interest in recent years. This analysis focuses on the different forms of nanoparticles and their applications for the treatment of breast cancer, such as liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, and gold nanoparticles. Nanotechnology has grown and been applied to cancer therapies in recent decades. Nanotechnology currently plays an important role in the selective delivery of drugs for the treatment of cancer, including breast cancer. Nanoparticles can target tumors and monitor drug release to specific locations, thus increasing drug therapeutic efficacy and minimizing toxicity to normal tissues or organs. In addition, nanoparticles can also activate anti-tumor immune cells. Nanoparticles, therefore, are a promising method for potential study and treatment of cancer.
