摘要
Tamoxifen is the established adjuvant treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer. However, the side-effects associated with tamoxifen therapy have prompted a search for safer and potentially more effective endocrine agents. Results from randomized trials of the third-generation aromatase inhibitors, anastrozole, letrozole and exemestane, demonstrating improved efficacy compared with tamoxifen and favorable tolerability profiles, are discussed in this review.
