Letrozole is primarily used to treat specific types of breast cancer, such as hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, in postmenopausal women. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.
Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that reduces estrogen production by blocking the aromatase enzyme. Since certain breast cancers rely on estrogen to grow, decreasing its levels helps slow or stop tumor growth.
