Abstract

Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) are now being utilized more frequently in experimental research on cancer treatments, which has become one of the most difficult problems in medical science. The fundamental objective of this research is to use nanotechnology to effectively treat and eradicate advanced or metastatic cancer with the fewest possible negative effects. The fact that MNPs can be bound to chemotherapeutic medications, nucleic acids, synthesized antibodies, or radionuclide compounds is taken into account by drug delivery methods. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, MNPs can be guided and various treatment modalities can be used. This research examines the function of MNPs in cancer imaging and diagnostics as well as several MNP manufacturing techniques. In addition to all of these, information on the use of MNPs for the treatment of breast malignancies from clinical trials and scholarly prospection has been compiled.
