- The Estrogen Effect: New Ways to Treat Hormone-Positive Breast Cancer. Patients whose breast cancers are estrogen-positive have a wide variety of treatments available. Be the first to discuss this article on CURE's forum. Talk about this article with other patients, caregivers, and advocates in the Breast Cancer CURE discussion group.

Hormone Therapy Hormone inhibitors also target breast cancer cells with hormone receptors, but unlike hormone blockers, they work by reducing the body’s hormone production. When breast cancer cells are cut off from the ‘food supply’ (in this case, estrogen) the tumor begins to starve and die. Generally, the benefits of using hormone therapy and chemotherapy together have a much greater combined effect than using either alone.

Breast cancer guide Breast cancer tumours that are ER/PR-positive are 60% likely to respond to hormonal therapy. Tumours that are ER/PR negative are only 5% to 10% likely to respond to hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapies for breast cancer are treatments used after surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy are finished.They are designed to help prevent recurrence of the disease by blocking the effects of oestrogen.bout 65% of these are also PR positive. They grow in response to another hormone, progesterone. If your breast cancer’s cells have a significant number of receptors for either oestrogen or progesterone, your cancer is considered hormone-receptor positive and will likely to respond to hormonal therapies.

Treatment You'll probably have hormone therapy after surgery and chemotherapy, but it's sometimes given before surgery to shrink a tumour, making it easier to remove.

Surgery is usually followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy or, in some cases, hormone or biological treatments. Again, the treatment you'll have will depend on your type of breast cancer.

Dangers of Excess Estrogen In the Aging Male An analogy to how excess estrogen can first damage DNA regulatory genes to cause cancer and then act as a prostate cancer suppressor can be seen with chemotherapy drugs. The mechanism by which most chemo drugs kill cancer cells is to inflict massive damage to cellular DNA.

Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Cancer Risk Estrogen-progestin therapy. Treating menopausal symptoms with estrogen and progestin together is known as estrogen-progestin therapy (EPT) or combined hormone therapy. Although estrogen alone improves the symptoms of menopause, it increases the risk of cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer).Adding a progestin to the estrogen lowers the risk of endometrial cancer back to normal. Because of this, EPT is given to women who still have a uterus (those who have not had a hysterectomy).EPT can be given 2 ways: 1  Continuous EPT means the same dose of estrogen and progestin is taken each day.educing the cancer risks of hormone therapy. If you and your doctor decide that MHT is the best way to treat symptoms or problems caused by menopause, keep in mind that it is medicine and like any other medicine it’s best to use it at the lowest dose needed for as short a time as possible.
