Cover Story: Breast cancer treatment resistance remains a major clinical challenge driven by tumor heterogeneity and adaptive signaling pathways. This narrative review highlights the emerging role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as key regulators of therapy response across breast cancer subtypes. We synthesize current evidence on miRNA involvement in chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy resistance, with a focus on EMT regulation, cancer stemness, immune checkpoint modulation, and DNA damage response. Circulating and exosomal miRNAs are discussed as non-invasive biomarkers with predictive and prognostic potential. By integrating mechanistic insights and translational data, this review underscores the promise and limitations of miRNA-based strategies in precision oncology. View this paper
