Description

Exemestane is an aromatase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by decreasing estrogen levels in the body, which can slow or stop the growth of certain types of breast tumors that require estrogen to grow.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'Exemestano' may sometimes be confused with other hormonal therapies. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Some may mistakenly use 'exemestano' interchangeably with other medications like tamoxifen, which should be avoided.
