Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most critical threats to women worldwide. The incidence and mortality of breast cancer are as high as 24.2% and 15%, respectively, ranking first in female malignant tumors. Although the main treatments for breast cancer include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, side effects and drug resistance are the main problems in conventional chemotherapy. In recent years, nanotechnologies have offered high potentials in cancer therapeutics due to unique physicochemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. The outcomes of nanomaterials research have shown effective solutions to critical issues that have not been well addressed by conventional medicine. In this review paper, we introduce the latest progress of nanotechnology in the treatment of breast cancer.
