Hormone therapy (also called hormonal therapy, hormone treatment, or endocrine therapy) slows or stops the growth of hormone-sensitive tumors by blocking the body’s ability to produce hormones or by interfering with effects of hormones on breast

Background For postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer, the most effective duration for adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor remains unclear

The decision regarding choice of endocrine therapy
This resulted in a total adjuvant endocrine treatment duration of 5–6 years or 8–9 years, respectively
The first approach inhibits the production of estrogen (ligand) so no ligand Anti-estrogen therapy is a key component of the treatment of both early and advanced-stage hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer

Very little evidence has been generated about the role of ai s in the neoadjuvant setting in premenopausal women
Although hot flushes (flashes) are a common side effect, Arimidex is less likely than tamoxifen to cause these

Anastrozole can occasionally cause changes to how the liver works
