Nearly 270,000 new breast cancer cases are predicted to be diagnosed in the USA in 2019 with more than 70% being estrogen receptor positive and treated using endocrine therapy. The suppression of estrogen biosynthesis or action via the use of ovarian suppression, aromatase inhibitors and selective estrogen receptor modulators/degraders, respectively, is effective in approximately 70% of women. The systemic inhibition of estrogen during breast cancer treatment is also associated with side effects due to the important endocrine functions of this steroid hormone, including its role in the maintenance of energy homeostasis and bone health. The current work will present perspectives of the impact of endocrine therapy from the point of view of breast medical oncology, endocrinology, and basic science.
预计2019年美国将有近27万例新发乳腺癌病例被诊断出来,其中70%以上为雌激素受体阳性,并采用内分泌疗法进行治疗。分别通过使用卵巢抑制、芳香化酶抑制剂和选择性雌激素受体调节剂/降解剂来抑制雌激素生物合成或作用,在大约70%的女性中是有效的。在乳腺癌治疗期间对雌激素进行全身抑制也会带来副作用,因为这种类固醇激素具有重要的内分泌功能,包括其在维持能量稳态和骨骼健康方面的作用。当前的工作将从乳腺医学肿瘤学、内分泌学和基础科学的角度阐述内分泌治疗的影响。
