Letrozole

Letrozole is an oral medication belonging to the aromatase inhibitor class. It works by reducing the body’s production of estrogen, a hormone that can promote the growth of certain hormone-sensitive cancer cells.

Letrozole is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It may also be used in other clinical situations under specialist medical supervision, depending on local regulatory approvals and individual patient needs.

Treatment requires appropriate medical assessment because reducing estrogen levels can produce significant hormonal and metabolic effects.
