Targeting breast cancer: the promise of phage-based nanomedicines.
Review in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBreast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide, characterized by its aggressive nature, propensity for metastasis, and resistance to standard treatment modalities. Traditional therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, often encounter significant limitations such as systemic toxicity and lack of specificity.
objectiveThis review aims to evaluate the recent advancements in phage-based nanomedicines as a novel approach for targeted breast cancer therapy, focusing on their mechanisms of action, therapeutic benefits, and the challenges faced in clinical implementation.
methodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing studies that investigate the application of bacteriophages in cancer therapy, particularly in breast cancer. The review highlights the integration of nanotechnology with phage therapy, examining the potential for enhanced targeting and reduced side effects.
resultsPhage-based nanomedicines have shown promise in selectively targeting breast cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and safety profiles. The unique properties of bacteriophages, including their ability to be engineered for specific targeting and their natural ability to induce immune responses, present significant advantages over conventional treatments.
conclusionThe integration of phage therapy with nanotechnology represents a promising frontier in the fight against breast cancer. This review underscores the need for continued research to address existing challenges and to explore the full potential of phage-based nanomedicines in improving patient outcomes in breast cancer treatment.
