Nice to know someone is listening to those of us on hormone therapy.
Professor Tilley emphasised the importance of patient well-being whilst being treated for breast cancer. ER-target treatments for hormone-sensitive breast cancers are often associated with debilitating side effects, leaving patients feeling miserable and even ceasing to take the therapy.
“We have been advocates for SARMs because they not only have the potential to prolong life, but they have the potential to make patients feel better while on therapy,” he explained. “This reduction in negative side effects is because the drugs promote bone, muscle and brain health.”
