Nanoparticles (NPs) disguised in the cell membrane are a new type of biomimetic platform. Due to their ability to simulate the unique biological functions of membrane-derived cells, they have become one of the hotspots of research at home and abroad. The tumor-specific antigen antibody carried by breast cancer cell membranes can modify nanoparticles to have homologous tumor targeting. Therefore, nanoparticles wrapped in cancer cell membranes have been widely used in research on the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. This article reviews the current situation, prospects, advantages and limitations of nanoparticles modified by cancer cell membranes in the treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer.
