摘要
Despite the perception of many oncologists that tamoxifen is an inferior drug, and should be substituted by an aromatase inhibitor in post-menopausal women, the current evidence strongly supports the view that AIs should be used 2-3 years after tamoxifen to achieve the maximal overall survival ( OS) advantage.
