Femara (Letrozole) is administered for the treatment of Cancer of the breast in women who are in their postmenopausal state. In this condition Estrogen, which functions as a female sex hormone, sometimes deviates from its assigned task and starts helping a particular group of cells to multiply in an unplanned manner. In so doing they destroy healthy cells in the vicinity. Normally, cells do multiply but within the naturally set limits. In a cancerous situation this growth and multiplication of cells is abnormally high leading to tumors (which are essentially a collection of these abnormal cell growths). These cancerous cells then destroy the good (normal) cells. They spread to other organs and ultimately penetrate the bloodstream which carries them along with the blood and they spread through out the body forming more tumors and destroying more healthy cells and if unchecked, will cause death. Timely treatment with this medication reduces estrogen levels in the body causing the cancerous cells to stop their limitless growth. This medication is also useful to treat breast tumors.
