Insights into Hormone Receptor in Breast Cancer - with Dr Tasha
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer refers to a subtype of breast cancer where the cancer cells have receptors for hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. These receptors play a crucial role in the growth and proliferation of breast cancer cells. When hormones like estrogen bind to these receptors, they can stimulate the cancer cells to divide and grow, contributing to tumor progression.
One of the key aspects of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer is its responsiveness to hormone-based therapies. Drugs such as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and aromatase inhibitors (AIs) work by either blocking the hormone receptors or reducing the production of estrogen in the body, thereby inhibiting the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
The resistance to hormone-based treatments can develop over time, leading to disease progression and the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Ongoing research aims to better understand the mechanisms of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and develop more effective treatments to improve outcomes for patients with this subtype of the disease.

Thanks Dr Tasha for all the information you gave to us, I am on Anastrozole 1 mg, is it good as Letrozole? Can you please advice! Thanks
My pathology test : ER and PR positive and HER negative , I have lobular breast cancer stage 1 , so I have to go for mastectomy and breast reconstruction doctor suggested to go for bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction . It’s lot for me to decide , I am ok with mastectomy and breast reconstruction only worries what if I need radiotherapy. Even doctor said it’s highly unlikely to have chemo or radiotherapy
Any advice please ?😢
You call this Cemotherpy
Are aromatase inhibitors especially critical for an ER receptor that is 100%? Does the high estrogen mean endocrine therapy will be very effective? Is this a consideration for remaining on the tablets longer than 5 years? Thanks so much!!
Hi Dr Tasha..what does ER 8/8 mean
This indicates the oestrogen receptor expression is high i.e. positive
