Therefore, ERα activity is inhibited in breast cancer patients with endocrine therapies using anti-oestrogens, such as tamoxifen and fulvestrant or by inhibiting oestrogen biosynthesis either by using aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal women or with lutenising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists in premenopausal women. Here, CYP19A1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
