Beneficial Switch to Exemestane (Aromasin)

[Paul]

A new study reported in the March 11 2004 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine shows benefits of switching from tamoxifen to Aromasin (chemical name: exemestane) for post-menopausal women with early-stage hormone-receptor-positive disease. This study adds to the growing body of evidence that aromatase inhibitors (i.e. Arimidex Femara and Aromasin) seem to prevent breast cancer recurrence better than tamoxifen.
