Dear Colleagues,

The incidence and mortality of breast cancer rank first among gynecological tumors worldwide. Early detection, timely diagnosis and tailored management have become critical steps in the treatment of breast cancer. Many studies have used chemotherapeutics or molecularly targeted therapy to reduce cancer progression by targeting specific mutated genes in breast cancer patients along with consideration of the factors that make breast cancer worse. However, there are many patients whose therapeutic effects are mitigated due to adverse reactions from side effects of the drugs utilized. Natural products can assist current chemotherapeutic agents and achieve therapeutic effects at lower doses. Advantages are not only to inhibit the growth of malignant tumors at a dose that is harmless to normal tissues, but also to improve many symptoms derived from the disease in combination with the efficacy of the natural products themselves. Therefore, exploring the molecular mechanism of adjuvant therapy using various natural products is the focus of this special topic.

This Special Issue encourages interested researchers to provide abstracts and ensure compliance with the scope of this issue before submitting manuscripts.

This Special Issue will cover topics including:

-    The efficacy of natural products on breast cancer
-    The impact of nutrients on breast cancer treatment
-    Molecular mechanisms involved in the treatment of breast cancer with natural products
-    Molecular mechanism of natural products for adjuvant chemotherapeutics
