Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide, yet conventional treatments have several shortcomings, including low specificity, systemic toxicity, and drug resistance. Nanomedicine technologies provide a promising alternative while also overcoming the limitations posed by conventional therapies. This mini-Review highlights important signaling pathways related to occurrence and development of breast cancer and current breast cancer therapies, followed by an analysis of various nanomedicine technologies developed for diagnosis and treatment of breast cancers.
