Does hormone therapy work for estrogen cancer?

Question

For Breast Cancer.

Answer 1

Actually, there is a form of breast cancer that can have both estrogen and progesterone receptors. When a tumor is strong in these hormones, a patient is put on hormone therapy, where a drug such as Tamoxifen or Arimidex blocks the hormone and therefore stops the cancer from growing. In post-menopausal breast cancer, a woman's ovaries have already stopped functioning. In pre-menopausal cancer, a woman may consider having her ovaries removed or stopped by another drug such as Lupron.

And Yes, It is very effective treatment. That is why women with breast cancer are surviving longer than ever. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Estrogen is a hormone and you cannot have cancer in it. You may have cancer in the organ, the ovaries. If this is the case and you have had both ovaries removed estrogen therapy will be suggested by your doctor and you should ask him about any side effects it may have.
