"Hormone Receptor Positive" refers to a type of cancer, often breast cancer, that has cells with receptors for hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This means that these hormones can promote the growth of the cancer cells. Testing for hormone receptors is crucial in determining the best treatment options, as therapies can target these receptors to slow down or stop cancer growth. In hormone receptor-positive cancers, treatments may include hormonal therapy, which reduces hormone levels or blocks their effects. Common medications used in this treatment include tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors. Understanding hormone receptor status helps doctors tailor treatment plans for better outcomes.
