Breast cancer has become the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate. Although the emergence of new drugs has prolonged the overall survival of breast cancer patients， it still possesses a high recurrence and metastasis rate due to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Glucose is the main source of energy metabolism for breast cancer cells， and the glucose metabolism of breast cancer cells is significantly different from that of normal breast cells. The high energy demand and rapid growth of breast cancer cells make their demand for glucose much higher than that of normal cells. Moreover， even under aerobic conditions， the glycolytic effect of breast cancer cells will be significantly enhanced to meet the high energy metabolism demand of breast cancer cells. The main reason for the enhanced glycolytic effect of breast cancer cells is the enhanced activity of glycolysis-related enzymes and regulatory factors， including pyruvate kinase， hexokinase， phosphofructokinase， lactate dehydrogenase， and glucose transporter protein. The metabolism process of glycolysis in breast cancer cells can be regulated by interfering with the activity of these enzymes and regulatory factors， thus inhibiting the proliferation of breast cancer， promoting apoptosis， and reversing drug resistance， invasion， and metastasis. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a long history of treating breast cancer and has made significant achievements in the aspects of anti-recurrence， metastasis， and drug resistance. In recent years， more and more research related to the intervention of aerobic glycolysis in breast cancer by TCM monomers， single-flavored TCM， and compounds has been conducted and has made great achievements. In addition， a large number of in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that aerobic glycolysis is an important potential target for the treatment of breast cancer by TCM， but there is a lack of a comprehensive review and summary. On this basis， this paper elaborated on the roles of key targets in aerobic glycolysis and breast cancer and summarized the relevant studies on the treatment of breast cancer by intervention of glycolysis with TCM， with a view to providing new ideas for further research.
