First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looked at whether adding atorvastatin (a statin used for high cholesterol) to standard hormone therapy can help control advanced breast cancer better than hormone therapy alone. It involved 126 women with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. The goal was to see if the combination improves response rates and delays cancer progression, while also exploring why some cancers stop responding to hormone treatment.
