Abstract

Breast cancer is the widespread form of cancer & the second most frequent reason for female mortality on a global scale. It is resulted from various ecological and genetic elements. As a result, new therapeutic methods are needed to effectively treat these types of cancer. The conventional techniques for treating this type of cancer have limitations, so various researches have been conducted in the past decade to discover fresh strategies to address these challenges. Investigations into the molecular foundations of this illness have resulted in the advancement of genetic treatment as an effective choice for addressing and managing breast cancer. Before genetic material can be used to fix, add, or control a gene, it needs to be initially inserted into the desired cells using a carrier. The focus is on selectively attacking cancer cells without causing harm to normal cells, which is necessary for this approach. Clinical trials have additionally demonstrated that this method is comparatively safer than conventional medication. This research will investigate various aspects of breast cancer, techniques for gene treatment, the difficulties they present, and the latest discoveries in this field.
