Why Capecitabine and Exemestane?

[donocco]

Exemestane (Aromasin) while being an Aromatase inhibitor like Arimidex has a steroid chemical structure like Estrogen. The other 2 dont and this may explain the different mechanism of action that Beckhy mentioned.

Cant say much about the Xeloda yet. This may help a bit. Xeloda is an oral prodrug of the usually IV given 5 flourouracil. Possibly the fact that it can be given orally is a factor. As far as insurance is concerned, price may be a factor. If this realy concerns you Nguyen Ill try to research it. Im busier retired now than I was working. Really in to increasing my astrology knowledge (plus learning something about all the new drugs) but if this really bothering you Ill see what I can find.
