    GlossaryAromatase Inhibitors (AI)

    block estrogen production by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme

    Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) are a class of drugs that block the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens. By reducing estrogen levels, AIs are commonly used in the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women, as estrogen can promote the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells.
