“…The AMN3 breast cancer cells have been exposed to several types of nanoparticles as primary treatments, and they have shown a high ability to kill cancer cells. Among these nanomaterials, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), 58 gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) 59 and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) 60 . AgNPs showed a significant influence against AMJ13 breast cancer cells for an Iraqi woman, and the investigations at the cellular and molecular levels showed the ability of these materials to cause high cytotoxicity, breakdown of DNA, and a decrease in the level of glutathione (antioxidant) and induce cells to apoptosis.…”

Cancer is one of the most common diseases around the world and the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer type among Iraqi women, as it represents the highest percentage of malignant tumors in women until 2018. Therefore, women should be aware of the aggravation of this disease, the importance of the periodic examination for early detection for breast cancer, and following the most appropriate means for the treatment to get recovered and, thus, to reduce mortality. To fight cancer, there is an urgent need to search for new effective anticancer therapies that alter the molecular biology of tumor cells, stimulate the immune system, or specifically deliver chemotherapy factors directly to cancer cells without affecting normal cells and reducing the side effects of treatments. In this context, this paper aimed to highlight the therapeutic approaches used in the current researches of breast cancer treatment. Accumulated evidence showed that medicinal plant extracts, and can serve as anticancer agents. The proposed mechanisms were discussed and presented in this review.
