Abstract

Breast cancer is a pervasive global health issue that disproportionately impacts the female population. Over the past few years, there has been considerable interest in nanotechnology due to its potential utility in creating drug-delivery systems designed to combat this illness. The primary aim of these devices is to enhance the delivery of targeted medications, optimise the specific cells that receive the drugs, tackle treatment resistance in malignant cells, and introduce novel strategies for preventing and controlling diseases. This research aims to examine the methodologies utilised by various carrier nanoparticles in the context of therapeutic interventions for breast cancer. The main objective is to investigate the potential application of novel delivery technologies to attain timely and efficient diagnosis and treatment. Current cancer research predominantly examines diverse drug delivery methodologies for chemotherapeutic agents. These methodologies encompass the development of hydrogels, micelles, exosomes, and similar compounds. This research aims to analyse the attributes, intricacies, notable advancements, and practical applications of the system in clinical settings. Despite the demonstrated efficacy of these methodologies, an apparent discrepancy can be observed between the progress made in developing innovative therapeutic approaches and their widespread implementation in clinical settings. It is critical to establish a robust correlation between these two variables to enhance the effectiveness of medication delivery systems based on nanotechnology in the context of breast cancer treatment.
