Nanoparticle\\\'s efficacy in the suppression of heavy metals that affect breast cancer progression.
J Shifa Tameer-e-Millat Uni Jan ;6(2):106-12.

The study aimed to assess the literature to explore the efficacy of different nanoparticles that play a role in suppressing various heavy metals that cause breast cancer. Breast cancer is a prevalent reason of death among females around the world. Heavy metals, including arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, nickel, hexavalent chromium, and much more, play a role in the expansion of various types of cancer, mainly breast cancer. Nanomedicine has unbelievable potential for developing cancer treatment and diagnosis by inventive biocompatible nanocomposites for treatment. Gold nanoparticle's role as an effective treatment is quickly increasing. Silver exhibited significant interactivity among various nanoparticles due to its distinctive characteristics, such as conductivity, stability, catalytic properties, and antibacterial attributes. These can also be used for antimicrobial activities for many microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and, recently, viruses. The data from various studies was retrieved. The studies on heavy metals and nanoparticles and their role were retrieved and added to this study. This will help people understand the influential role of nanomedicine in suppressing breast cancer. It is concluded that extensive efforts have been devoted to addressing breast cancer by utilizing various nanoparticles, including gold and silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, and Myr-AuNPs (Gold nanoparticles) demonstrate promise as potent anticancer agents for breast cancer. However, further research is needed to combat the current state of breast cancer effectively.
