Breast cancer continues to be a major contributor to cancer-related mortality globally,
highlighting the critical importance of developing more efficient and safer therapy
strategies. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems offer a promising approach by
enhancing drug accumulation in tumor tissues while minimizing systemic toxicity.
This article explores the unique properties and advantages of various nanoparticles,
including liposomal, polymer-, metal-, carbon- and mesoporous silica nanoparticles,
in breast cancer therapy. Additionally, it delves into three key targeting mechanisms:
passive targeting via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, active
targeting using ligands and antibodies, and stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems.
Integrating nanotechnology into breast cancer therapy paves the way for more
precise, efficient, and personalized therapy options, offering new hope for improved
patient outcomes.
