What is Letrozole used for?

Letrozole is used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by lowering estrogen levels in the body, which can slow or stop the growth of certain breast cancers. This medication is often prescribed after surgery or for advanced cancer cases to help prevent recurrence or manage existing disease.
