Description

Cortes, Queiroga, Illera, and Ramos review what is known about male hormones and their receptor in a hard to treat form of breast cancer. This form lacks the usual drug targets, so new targets matter. Male hormone signals may slow or help tumor growth, based on the setting. Their review was published in 2026.

In healthy breast tissue, these hormones tend to slow cell growth. In tumors, the same signals can also feed paths tied to cell survival and spread. The review covers both drug driven and drug free ways the receptor can switch on. It also surveys trials of drugs that block the path, which showed modest gains in chosen patient groups.
