Dear Chandi,
Previously, you asked me whether there were special drugs for estrogen negative, progesterone positive breast cancer patients. At the time, I did not find much on the topic. The cross-link below will take you to a transcript derived from a recent "ask the expert" on-line conference regarding current anti-estrogen breast cancer treatments.
One of the key questions presented in that conference is your question regarding potential treatment of estrogen-negative, progesterone positive breast cancer. The transcript notes that the drugs used for estrogen-positive disease are also used for ER-negative, PR-positive disease. I hope this information is helpful.
