Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) remains the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, despite significant advancements in its prevention and treatment. The escalating incidence of BC globally necessitates continued research into novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Metabolomics, a burgeoning field, offers a comprehensive analysis of all metabolites within a cell, tissue, system, or organism, providing crucial insights into the dynamic changes occurring during cancer development and progression. This review focuses on the metabolic alterations associated with BC, highlighting the potential of metabolomics in identifying biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Metabolomics studies have revealed distinct metabolic signatures in BC, including alterations in lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and energy metabolism. These metabolic changes not only support the rapid proliferation of cancer cells but also influence the tumour microenvironment and therapeutic response.Furthermore, metabolomics holds great promise in personalized medicine, facilitating the development of tailored treatment strategies based on an individual’s metabolic profile. By providing a holistic view of the metabolic changes in BC, metabolomics has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the disease and improve patient outcomes.
