Re: Lung Cancer Prevention Potential For Estrogen-Targeting Drug Combo

Quote:
Most lung cancers are positive for a type of estrogen receptor that makes lung tumors grow when exposed to estrogen.
Surprising. Granted, haven't spent a lot of time looking at lung cancer treatments..but don't recall endocrine therapies among them...
Estrogen playing a role in melanoma too...

And they are combining a SERM with an AI..like new developments in BC. When I first learned of SERMs and AIs back in '05, I asked the current onc why they don't combine them. Was looked at like I was silly..
