Some breast cancer cells require estrogen to grow, and eliminating estrogen suppresses their growth. Annual sales approx $2.2bn. The first patent expired in June 2010. Although this patent was originally set to expire in December 2009, the manufacturer was given an extension for performing much needed pediatric studies.
