Hormonal Therapy
    

Directory Listing(s) :


This page tells you about hormone therapy for primary breast cancer.

If the tumor is receptor positive, hormonal therapy may lower the risk that cancer will recur in breast tissue or other parts of the body.

The other name for hormonal therapy is "anti-estrogen therapy." The goal of therapy is to starve the breast cancer cells of the hormone they thrive on.
