Application of ferroptosis strategy to overcome tumor therapy resistance in breast and different cancer cells

This literature review emphasizes the innovative role of ferroptosis in cancer treatment. Ferroptosis is a kind of deliberate cell death that is characterized by the generation of lipid peroxides and needs the presence of iron. Ferroptosis is a controlled cell death process that adheres to certain rules and regulations. The inhibition of System Xc- and the involvement of GPX۴ are two of the primary areas of exploration that are engaged in the process of ferroptosis. This review explores the treatments that are used to treat ferroptosis in a range of malignancies, with a particular focus on breast carcinoma. Attention is paid to certain pathways, such as the FSP۱-independent regulation of glutathione, involvement of cholesterol, and the prominin ۲-MVB/exosome-ferritin pathway. Ferroptosis plays a key role in resistance to tumor therapy.
