SERM Therapy

Meaning

SERM Therapy, utilizing Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators, is a pharmacological intervention that involves compounds that act as either agonists or antagonists on estrogen receptors in a tissue-specific manner. These agents are designed to elicit estrogen-like effects in beneficial tissues, such as bone, while blocking estrogenic action in other tissues, such as the breast or uterus. This targeted approach is a cornerstone in the management of hormone-sensitive conditions, offering a nuanced alternative to traditional hormone replacement. It is a precise tool for leveraging the diverse actions of the estrogen signaling pathway.
