Abstract

Breast cancer continues to be a major contributor to cancer-related mortality globally, highliting 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-, 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.

Özet

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.
