Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common types of cancer in women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), exhibits a highly aggressive phenotype with increased metastasis and resistance to conventional treatments. Nanocarrier technology is consistently employed to overcome limitations associated with traditional breast cancer therapy. The targeted drug delivery approach using nanocarriers enhances bioavailability, prolongs circulation, and facilitates effective drug accumulation at the tumor site through active or passive targeting. Currently, the FDA has approved a few nanocarrier systems, and numerous nano formulations are undergoing preclinical and clinical development for breast cancer targeting. Common nanocarrier types include polymeric micelles, microemulsions, magnetic microemulsions, liposomes, dendrimers, carbon nanotubes, and magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). This review extensively explores the targeting potential of nanocarriers in breast cancer. This study will provide a concise summary of current advances in treatment of breast cancer and diagnostics.
