Prevention
Additionally, the extended use of AIs after 5 years of tamoxifen, also proved to be efficacious in preventing late distant relapses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A substantial portion of the benefit for extended adjuvant AI therapy was derived from prevention of second breast cancers. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
According to Cristofanilli, endocrine therapy is the most important therapy that is used in adjuvant prevention and management of metastatic breast cancer. [onclive.com]
It may also be used to prevent cancer from returning after surgery or radiation (adjuvant therapy). In some women who have a high risk of getting breast cancer, hormonal therapy is used to prevent cancer from developing. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Can Other Drugs Prevent Breast Cancer? Another drug, raloxifene (Evista), which prevents the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis, is similar to tamoxifen. [webmd.com]
