Study: Hormone therapy better than chemo before breast cancer surgery
BOSTON, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Endocrine therapy for women fighting breast cancer might be just as helpful as traditional chemotherapy before tumor removal surgery, according to researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center.A new study conducted at the center found that pre-surgery endocrine therapy -- treatment that blocks the production of potentially cancer-fueling hormones -- for women with localized, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer produces virtually the same results as presurgical chemotherapy, but with fewer side effects.Both processes are designed to reduce the size of breast cancer tumors before surgeons operate to remove them.RECOMMENDED DNA sequencing may lead to personalized cancer treatment"Tumors are generally highly receptive to endocrine therapy ... but while endocrine therapy is the most important component of [secondary] or postsurgical therapy, use of [pre-surgery] endocrine therapy has been low in the U.S.," Dr. Aditya Bardia, the study's lead author and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, said.
