Ask-the-Expert Conference: Hormonal Therapy Updates April 2004 (at www.breastcancer.org)
Dr. Marisa Weiss just released the written transcript from her recently held "Ask-the-Expert" On-Line Conference. The key questions addressed at this conference include:
"Besides tamoxifen are there any other hormonal therapies for pre-menopausal ER/PR-positive node-negative cancers?"
"Which hormonal therapies are effective with estrogen-negative progesterone-positive breast cancer?"
"Are there any definitive studies regarding the long-term effectiveness of hormone therapy in preventing recurrence of breast cancer?"
"I am taking tamoxifen and unable to take Effexor for hot flashes and vitamin E didn't work. Is there something else?"
"I am on tamoxifen and would like to have a blood test to see if I am post-menopausal and can be switched to Arimidex but I do not want to take the chance unless the blood tests are very accurate."
The conference covers many of the topics relevant to anti-estrogen drug treatments in the breast cancer area.
