What are the Treatment Options for Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer?
For breast cancers that are ER-positive or PR-positive, hormone therapy is a common treatment strategy. Options include Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs), such as tamoxifen, and aromatase inhibitors, like anastrozole and letrozole. These medications work by blocking estrogen receptors or decreasing estrogen production, respectively, thereby inhibiting the growth of hormone-dependent cancer cells.
