| Message: | Exemestane is also called Aromasin. It is a type of hormone therapy drug called an aromatase inhibitor and is used to treat breast cancer. It is only suitable for women who have had their menopause.
There is general information about hormone therapies in the cancer treatment section.
Aromasin (exemestane) lowers estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, which may slow the growth of certain types of breast tumors that need estrogen to grow in the body.
Aromasin is used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is often given to women whose cancer has progressed even after surgery, radiation, or other cancer medications have been tried without success.
