Beyond its structural significance, collagen is implicated in various diseases or cancers, notably breast cancer, where it influences crucial cellular processes including proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, and drug resistance, intricately shaping cancer progression and prognosis. In breast cancer, distinct collagens exhibit differential expression profiles, with some showing heightened or diminished levels in cancerous tissues or cells compared to normal counterparts, suggesting specific and pivotal biological functions. In this review, we meticulously analyze the expression of individual collagen members in breast cancer, utilizing Transcripts Per Million (TPM) data sourced from the GEPIA2 database. Through this analysis, we identify collagens that deviate from normal expression patterns in breast cancer, providing a comprehensive overview of their expression dynamics, functional roles, and underlying mechanisms. Our findings shed light on recent advancements in understanding the intricate interplay between these aberrantly expressed collagens and breast cancer. This exploration aims to offer valuable insights for the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, thereby advancing the prospects of more effective interventions in breast cancer treatment.Keywords: collagen, breast cancer, extracellular matrix, prognostic marker
