How anastrozole works
How Anastrozole works is an aromatase inhibitor. It works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which converts the hormone androgen into small amounts of estrogen in the body. This means less estrogen is available to stimulate the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
Other aromatase inhibitors include letrozole (Femara) and exemestane (Aromasin).
