A new research study found that hormone therapy following breast cancer had significant benefits in terms of greater physical activity, improved cognition, and better cardiovascular and bone health in a mouse model. The current treatment for women after hormone-sensitive breast cancer is estrogen-blocking aromatase inhibitors, a nearly opposite treatment to hormone therapy. Not only did the right combination of hormones provide better outcomes in terms of cardiovascular and bone measures, but were also more effective against breast cancer. The research published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology by lead scientist Dr. Lakshmanaswamy and funded by Parsemus Foundation has been drawing the attention of scientists and interested public alike. BioMed Central recently recognized the paper as a “Highly Accessed” article.
