Endocrine Therapy: Are We Overtreating Breast Cancer?
Endocrine Therapy, also known as hormone therapy, is a treatment that tries to block or reduce circulating estrogens, which are what drive the majority of breast cancers.
Dr Belinda Yeo is a Medical Oncologist at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, who is researching the level of therapy that breast cancer patients require, to minimise toxicity in treatment.
She was a guest speaker at the 2022 Breast Cancer Trials Annual Scientific Meeting, and we asked Dr Yeo to explain her research project on Endocrine Therapy.
