Emerging Combinatorial Drug Delivery Strategies for Breast Cancer: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Current drug targets, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains the second most prevalent cancer among women in the United States. Despite advancements in surgical, radiological, and chemotherapeutic techniques, multidrug resistance continues to pose significant challenges in effective treatment. Combination chemotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to address these limitations, allowing multiple drugs to target malignancies via distinct mechanisms of action. Increasingly, the use of phytoconstituents alongside chemotherapeutic agents has shown promise in enhancing treatment outcomes. This combination therapy acts on key signaling pathways such as Hedgehog, Notch, Wnt/β- catenin, tyrosine kinases, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which play critical roles in cellular proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, differentiation, invasion, and metastasis. This review explores various signaling pathways involved in breast cancer progression, discusses conventional treatment methods like surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, and chemotherapy, and highlights emerging nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems (DDS). Liposomes, dendrimers, exosomes, polymeric micelles, and nanoparticles (organic, inorganic, gold, magnetic, carbon-based, and quantum dots) are examined as innovative strategies for enhancing drug delivery efficacy. Furthermore, stimuli-responsive DDSs, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), enzyme-, and hypoxia- responsive systems, are presented as cutting-edge approaches to overcoming drug resistance. Special emphasis is placed on the co-delivery of chemotherapeutic agents and plant-based compounds, particularly in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of novel combinatorial strategies and advanced nanocarriers for the effective and targeted treatment of breast cancer.
