How are Hormone Receptor-Positive Cancers Treated?
The treatment of hormone receptor-positive cancers often involves hormonal therapies that block the body's natural hormones or lower their levels. Common treatments include:
Tamoxifen: A selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that blocks estrogen receptors in breast tissue. Aromatase inhibitors: Drugs that reduce estrogen production in postmenopausal women. Ovarian suppression: Methods to stop the ovaries from producing estrogen, either surgically or medically.
