Treatment for estrogen-driven cancers often involves blocking the hormone's activity in the body. This can be achieved through:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Drugs like tamoxifen that bind to estrogen receptors and block their activity. Aromatase inhibitors: Medications that lower the amount of estrogen produced in the body, used primarily in postmenopausal women. Ovarian suppression: Techniques such as surgery or medication to stop the ovaries from producing estrogen.
