Oxidative stress is a product of redox imbalance in which there is an enhancement of free radicals in the body which can cause tissue damage. ROS is the most important free radical species which can be generated in breast cancer by various conditions such as hypoxia, altered metabolism, and drug treatment. ROS perform a pivotal role in breast tumor initiation and progression by inducing DNA damage and upregulating various cell survival and oncogenic pathways. Higher oxidative stress can inhibit antioxidant defense against angiogenesis and metastasis by regulating the expression of pro-metastatic and pro-angiogenic factors in breast tumor microenvironment. ROS is also a product and key regulator of altered cancer metabolism. Furthermore, oxidative stress is also associated with chemotherapeutic drug resistance by inducing the expression of various drug transporters in breast cancer. These processes play critical role in the development and progression of breast cancer. In this chapter, we have discussed free radicals as precursors of oxidative stress and the role of oxidative stress in breast cancer progression, metastasis, angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming, and drug resistance for better identification of the potential targets for redox dependent breast cancer therapy.
