Re: AI's, etc effect on estradiol
Haven't seen it Margerie. This whole scene shocked me...but it also shocked me how much information we DON'T seem to have regarding the more specific details of these drugs.
Has there been a comparision between Aromasin and Arimidez for non-metastatic HER2+ bc?
And, if there is a difference between one of these and the other, might it not correlate to its efficiency of attack on the "bad" estrogens?
