Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) presents a formidable challenge due to its rapid progression and unique clinical characteristics within the various manifestations of breast cancer. Despite being rare, its aggressive nature demands innovative approaches beyond conventional treatments. Nanomedicine offers exciting possibilities for improving all types of breast cancer therapeutics including IBC. In this review, we critically assess the current treatment landscape for IBC, highlighting the limitations of traditional methods and addressing the pressing need for new therapeutic strategies. Although many nanomaterials have been explored for breast cancer therapeutics, either alone or in combination with other therapies, only a limited number of nanotherapeutics have been extensively studied for IBC treatment. This review further explores how advancements in nanotechnology, such as nanoparticle- mediated photothermal therapy, Photodynamic therapy, and nanomedicinal targeted therapies can offer novel avenues for addressing the unique biological, technological, and regulatory challenges posed by IBC. IBC-related various nanomedicines based combinatorial therapies are highlighted in this review. It also provides a forward-looking perspective on key research directions and clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to publish papers at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology and especially those of an interdisciplinary nature. Here, nanotechnology is taken to include the ability to individually address, control, and modify structures, materials and devices with nanometre precision, and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions such as MEMS based devices. It encompasses the understanding of the fundamental physics, chemistry, biology and technology of nanometre-scale objects and how such objects can be used in the areas of computation, sensors, nanostructured materials and nano-biotechnology.
