Theranostic Applications of Magnetic Nanoparticles in Breast Cancer

Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) with theranostic applications have engrossed innumerable attention in breast cancer therapies. Breast cancer is a malignancy that affects numerous women globally and has a bad prognosis. These novel MNP formulations have ultra-small particle sizes, high intrinsic magnetic field characteristic, effective imaging, drug targeting, and drug delivery characteristics. MNP also has anticancer properties as well as imaging and magnetic targeting abilities. Theranostic application of MNP can be used in preclinical and clinical settings, and it could be beneficial in cancer treatment and imaging. Furthermore, if these nanoparticles can be functionalized with antibodies or ligands, they can be used as new platforms in a variety of biological applications. In a nutshell, theranostic application of MNP is a small step in the long fight against breast cancer.
