standard chemo- or endocrine therapy
standard chemo- or endocrine therapy is a Chemotherapy and endocrine therapy (combination or sequential) Small molecule drug developed by Prof. Wolfgang Janni. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (adjuvant or metastatic setting), Various solid tumors (chemotherapy component).
Standard chemotherapy and endocrine therapy work through distinct mechanisms: chemotherapy damages DNA to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells, while endocrine therapy blocks hormone signaling in hormone-sensitive cancers.

Mechanism of action
Chemotherapy agents (such as taxanes, anthracyclines, or alkylating agents) induce DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, leading to apoptosis in cancer cells. Endocrine therapy (such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, or fulvestrant) blocks estrogen or progesterone signaling pathways critical for growth of hormone receptor-positive cancers. These are broad therapeutic categories rather than single drugs.
