Abstract

Breast cancer is by far the commonest and second leading cancer in women of western country. Treatment options of breast cancer are surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Therapeutic options for breast cancer are limited, therapeutically considerable and associated with different toxicities. The application of nanotechnology to medicine helps to defeat the limitations relating to chemotherapy which exhibited the possibility to treat or target breast cancer. Among, the nanoparticles a variety of lipid nanoparticles namely liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructures lipid carrier and lipid polymers hybrid nanoparticles have been developed over the years for the breast cancer therapy and data are accepted. In future, the use of nanotechnology could modernize the entire of breast cancer treatment. So, the present review highlights the lipid-based nanocarriers for breast cancer treatment.

Keywords: Breast cancer, lipid, lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles, liposomes, nanostructure lipid carriers, solid lipid nanoparticles.
