Biological response modifiers
What is the test for the presence of a hormone receptor on breast cancer cells?
Estrogen receptor assay
What is a Estrogen-receptor assay?
It is a test to see if a breast cancer needs estrogen to grow
What is Estrogen receptor?
It is a test to see if a breast cancer needs estrogen to grow
What is an estrogen receptor used for?
Measurement of the estrogen receptor (ER)is used specifically to evaluate breast cancers. It gives an indication of prognosis and responsiveness to therapy.
What medication is effective in treating osteoporosis because of its estrogen like properties?
selective estrogen receptor modulators
What are important tissue receptor tumor markers?
Important tissue receptor tumor markers include estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer; epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) in lung cancer; and the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer. These markers help guide treatment decisions and predict response to targeted therapies.
The ability of estrogen to affect certain cells depends directly on?
receptor molecules
What is ER in breast cancer?
ER in breast cancer refers to estrogen receptor status. Testing of the tumor for estrogen receptor status gives the health care team information about likely helpful treatments as well as prognosis.
What drugs is an estrogen receptor antagonist used in the treatment of breast cancer?
C. Tamoxifen
What does SERD mean?
SERD stands for Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader. It is a type of drug that works by binding to estrogen receptors in cancer cells, leading to their degradation and ultimately reducing tumor growth in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer.
Which drug interactions are additive when taking ipriflavone?
