Letrozole – A Traditional Therapy, but Not the Only One

Letrozole is a long-standing hormonal therapy used to treat estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, especially in postmenopausal women.

It belongs to a class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors and works by lowering estrogen levels to slow cancer growth.

How Does Letrozole Work?

  • Letrozole prevents the body from producing estrogen, which fuels the growth of ER+ cancer cells.
  • It is typically prescribed as a long-term treatment, sometimes after surgery or chemotherapy.
  • Common side effects include fatigue, joint pain, and bone density loss.

Is Letrozole Still the Best Option Today?

Letrozole was considered a breakthrough 20 years ago, but today, more advanced and effective treatment options exist – often with fewer side effects and better outcomes for patients.

❗ Relying only on Letrozole is like driving a car from 2003 while others are already in electric vehicles.

What Are the Modern Alternatives?

In cases of metastatic or Letrozole-resistant breast cancer, physicians may consider:

  • Modern biological treatments (such as CDK4/6 inhibitors – Palbociclib, Abemaciclib, Ribociclib)
  • Targeted therapies based on genetic profiling (ESR1, PIK3CA, BRCA, and more)
  • Advanced combinations with hormonal therapy
  • Participation in cutting-edge clinical trials
