About Xtane Tablet
Xtane Tablet belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called aromatase inhibitors used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause (cessation of menses periods). Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by the female sex hormone known as estrogen.
Xtane Tablet works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which produces the estrogen hormone. Thus, it lowers the amount of estrogen (natural female hormone) produced in the body. The cancer cells require estrogen for their growth. Hence, blocking the aromatase enzyme, Xtane Tablet prevents the growth of cancer cells. Together, Xtane Tablet helps prevent or stop the growth of spreading the tumours (cancer cells) to other body parts.

Pain occurs around the breast.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by a female sex hormone called estrogen. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), fatty tissue, or fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and travel to lymph nodes which are a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other parts of the body. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast or tissue thickening which feels different than the normal surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, nipple discharge other than breast milk, bloody discharge, unexplained change in shape, size or appearance of the breast, peeling, flaking or scaling of the skin, and a lump or swelling under the arm.
