What is the Role of Hormone Receptors in Cancer Therapy?
Hormone receptors like ER and AR are critical targets in cancer treatment. Breast cancer therapies often involve the use of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or aromatase inhibitors to block estrogen signaling. Similarly, androgen deprivation therapy is a standard approach in treating prostate cancer by inhibiting AR activity. Targeting these receptors can significantly reduce tumor growth and improve patient outcomes.
