The method according to claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (I) has the configuration shown in Formula (IA): 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein Z1-Z2 represents CH═CH. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein R1 represents methoxyC1-4alkyl, fluoroC1-4alkyl, aminoC1-4alkyl, hydroxyC1-4alkyl, cyanoC1-4alkyl, C3-6cycloalkyl, —(CH2)pNHCOCH3, —(CH2)pNHSO2CH3, —(CH2)pNHCONH2, —(CH2)pNHCONR2R3, —(CH2)pNR2R3, —(CH2)pSO2NH2, —(CH2)pCONH2, —(CH2)pCONR2R3 or —(CH2)p—R7. 5. The method according to claim 4 wherein R1 represents —(CH2)p—P7, p represents 1, 2 or 3, R7 is selected from phenyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl, imidazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl and thiazolyl and R7 is optionally substituted by a single methyl group. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein R1 represents hydroxyethyl. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein R4 represents chloro or bromo. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein R5 represents hydrogen. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein n is 0 or 1. 10. A method of treating breast cancer, comprising administering to a person in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising: a compound according to claim 1, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
