  • Tamoxifen

    Tamoxifen blocks oestrogen from communicating with your breast cancer cells. This is commonly taken by people who have not experienced menopause, when oestrogen is being created primarily in the ovaries

  • Aromatase inhibitors

    If your ovaries stop working due to menopause or other causes, your fat tissues will become the body’s main producer of oestrogen. Aromatase inhibitors stop this oestrogen from impacting your cancer’s growth and spread

  • Ovarian suppression

    Ovarian suppression targets oestrogen production in the ovaries, creating a temporary menopause
