Tumor microenvironment-responsive nanoformulations for breast cancer.

Nanomedicine, the most promising approach for regulated and targeted drug delivery, is frequently applied in cancer treatment. Essentially, accumulating evidence indicates that nanomedicine has positive results in the treatment of breast cancer (BC), with many BC patients benefiting from nanomedicine-related treatments. Currently, nanodrug delivery systems based on stimulus responses are gaining popularity because of their additional ability to manage drug release depending on the interior environment of the cancer. This review includes a synopsis of several types of internal (pH, redox, enzyme, reactive oxygen species, and hypoxia) stimuli-responsive nanoparticle drug delivery systems as well as perspectives for forthcoming times. Stimulus-responsive nanoparticles can remain stable under physiological conditions while being rapidly activated to release drugs in response to specific stimuli, prolonging blood circulation and increasing cancer cellular uptake, resulting in excellent therapeutic performance and improved biosafety. In this paper, we discuss tumor microenvironment responsive Nanoformulation for breast cancer treatment.
