Breast cancer
Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous malignancy and a major hormone-dependent disease context in which precision oncology, immunotherapy, and targeted delivery strategies are being developed. It is the therapeutic target for rnai nanoplatform, cpll nps, ace imac, and immunotherapy, and it is also the setting for biomarker-guided approaches such as oncotype dx in early breast cancer. Recent work highlights multi-omics and artificial intelligence for diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment-response prediction, including deep learning on histopathology and integrated molecular profiling. Mechanistically, studies report subtype-specific BAX-derived circular rnas, altered small non-coding RNA signaling, immune-related drivers such as ccl5 and cd74, and aberrant upregulation of hmgb3, while ferroptosis and tertiary lymphoid structures are emerging as important therapeutic and prognostic axes. Nanotechnology remains a major theme, with liposomes, dendrimers, micelles, polymeric and metallic nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, and bio-magnetic nanomedicine being explored for selective drug delivery and imaging-guided theranostics. Resistance and durability are also central, especially for antibody-drug conjugates and PD-L1–linked immune escape, alongside biomarker studies implicating gstm5, sele, plk1, and circulating proteins in susceptibility or therapeutic vulnerability.
