Emerging Applications of Nanoparticles in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer

Emerging Applications of Nanoparticles in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer

4 July 2024 | Josephine B. Oehler, Weranga Rajapaksha, Hugo Albrecht
The article "Emerging Applications of Nanoparticles in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer" by Josephine B. Oehler, Weranga Rajapaksha, and Hugo Albrecht reviews the significant role of nanoparticles in revolutionizing breast cancer management. Nanoparticles, with their unique physicochemical properties, have shown promise in addressing treatment limitations such as drug resistance and nonspecific systemic distribution. They are used in enhancing drug delivery systems for targeted and sustained release, developing innovative diagnostic tools for early and precise detection of metastases, and integrating with photothermal therapy and immunotherapy. The review highlights the current state of nanoparticle research, its applications in breast cancer therapy and diagnosis, and the challenges that must be overcome for clinical integration. Key topics include the classification of nanoparticles, their diagnostic potential in early detection of metastasis, and their therapeutic potential in targeted therapy. The article also discusses the challenges in clinical translation, such as chemical feasibility, biodistribution, efficacy, safety concerns, scalability, and regulatory hurdles. Despite these challenges, the integration of multi-omics approaches and combination therapies is expected to enhance the specificity and efficacy of nanoparticle-based treatments, offering more personalized and effective strategies for breast cancer management. The authors emphasize the need for rigorous testing, optimization of manufacturing processes, and navigation through regulatory approval pathways to ensure the safe and effective integration of nanoparticle-based therapies into routine clinical care. Overall, nanoparticle-based therapies show great promise in improving patient outcomes and heralding a significant shift towards personalized and less-invasive treatment strategies for breast cancer.The article "Emerging Applications of Nanoparticles in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer" by Josephine B.
