High Purity Raw Steroid Powder Exemestane CAS 107868-30-4 White Crystalline

Description:

Exemestane is a hormone therapy drug used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through a natural menopause (when periods stop). It can also be used in premenopausal women having ovarian suppression (treatment to stop the ovaries working).

You may also hear it called Aromasin, which is its best-known brand name. There are a number of other brands of exemestane, all of which contain the same dose of the drug.

Men with breast cancer may be given exemestane, although another drug called tamoxifen is more commonly used.

Exemestane works by reducing the amount of oestrogen made in the body.

Some breast cancers use oestrogen in the body to help them to grow. These are known as oestrogen receptor positive or ER+ breast cancers.

Exemestane belongs to a group of drugs called aromatase inhibitors.

Exemestane is suitable for women who have been through the menopause and whose breast cancer is oestrogen receptor positive.

Sometimes exemestane is given alongside ovarian suppression to women who haven’t yet been through the menopause.

If your cancer is hormone receptor negative, then exemestane will not be of any benefit.
