ABSTRACT
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide; however, the successful treatment of BC, especially triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), remains a significant clinical challenge. Recently, photothermal therapy (PTT), which involves the generation of heat under irradiation to achieve photothermal ablation of BC with minimal invasiveness and outstanding spatial-temporal selectivity, has been demonstrated as a novel therapy that can overcome the drawbacks of chemotherapy or surgery. Significantly, when combining PTT with chemotherapy and/or photodynamic therapy, an enhanced synergistic therapeutic effect can be achieved in both primary and metastatic BC tumors. Thus, this review discusses the recent developments in nanotechnology-based photothermal therapy for the treatment of BC and its metastasis to provide potential strategies for future BC treatment.
