The most common types of cancer affected by estrogen include:
1. Breast Cancer: Estrogen plays a significant role in the development of certain types of breast cancer, particularly those that are ER-positive. These cancers grow in response to estrogen. 2. Endometrial Cancer: Estrogen stimulates the lining of the uterus, which can lead to endometrial hyperplasia and potentially cancer. 3. Ovarian Cancer: Some studies suggest that high levels of estrogen may increase the risk of ovarian cancer. 4. Prostate Cancer: Although less common, estrogen can also influence prostate cancer in men.
