Review on the latest developments in detection and treatment of breast cancer

Abstract

Numerous treatments for breast cancer have emerged in recent years, influenced by genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the disease's heterogeneity. Breast cancer stem cells are a primary driver of tumor aggressiveness and pose significant challenges to effective treatment. This assessment highlights that the identification of promising therapeutic approaches has led to substantial advancements in breast cancer treatment. Brain metastases, which carry a poor prognosis, are predominantly caused by breast cancer. Management of brain metastases in breast cancer patients typically involves a combination of systemic medications and local therapies, such as radiation or surgery. The introduction of novel antibody-drug conjugates has revolutionized the treatment landscape for metastatic breast cancer. Additionally, technological advancements are being leveraged to improve patient outcomes and streamline processes in the rapidly evolving healthcare sector. Given that breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, successful management necessitates innovative strategies. This review discusses both healthy and unhealthy dietary influences, as well as preventive measures, including radiation and chemotherapy.
