Breast Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
31. Are there new studies under way to try
and reduce a woman's chance of getting breast cancer?
Yes. Researchers are currently looking at substances called
aromatase inhibitors that might also help reduce risk. Aromatase
inhibitors prevent the formation of estradiol, which is a female
hormone. Women who are post-menopausal and whose breast cancer is
hormone-dependent may respond well to this therapy.
