How Do Hormonal Regulations Influence Certain Cancers?
Hormonal regulations are particularly relevant in cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. Hormone receptors like estrogen receptor (ER) and androgen receptor (AR) can drive the growth of hormone-dependent tumors. Therapies targeting these receptors, such as tamoxifen for ER-positive breast cancer or androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer, are effective but often lead to resistance over time.
