Abstract
Estrogen plays crucial roles in the progression of hormone-dependent breast cancers through activation of nuclear estrogen receptor α (ER). Estrogen is produced locally from circulating inactive steroids and adrenal androgens in postmenopausal women. However, conversion by aromatase is a rate-limiting step in intratumoral estrogen production in breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) inhibit the growth of hormone-dependent breast cancers by...
