Abstract

Female breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer globally, and it poses a serious global health threat. Traditional cancer treatments have several undesirable side effects. The most effective therapy for treating breast cancer is doxorubicin (Adriamycin), but it has severe side effects, so developing better therapies for breast cancer is necessary, such as laser therapy which could be a promising treatment option. In this regard, the current review focuses on reviewing the used breast cancer treatments and the progress on using laser therapy.
