Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy are the contemporary approaches that are utilized in the treatment of breast cancer. However, these treatments come with a number of downsides, including resistance to medicine, unpleasant side effects, and treatment outcomes that are not satisfying enough to be considered satisfactory. The most important objective of this review was to incorporate the most recent discoveries about flavonoids, which are a category of polyphenolic chemicals that are obtained from plants. The majority of flavonoids can be found in foods, including fruits, vegetables, and plants used for medicinal purposes.
