    GlossaryEstrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer

    cancer type where cells grow due to estrogen binding

    Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer (ER+ Breast Cancer) is a type of breast cancer where the cancer cells have receptors that bind to the hormone estrogen. This binding promotes the growth of the cancer cells. Treatments often involve hormone therapies that block estrogen from attaching to these receptors, thereby slowing or stopping the cancer's growth.
