This is just the results of the trial of Arimidex versus Tamoxifen after 10 years and how the stats hold up. Women on this trial were given 5 years of tamoxifen or 5 years of Arimidex and the AI was better. And the AI was better at these women's ten year mark. But nobody was on an AI ten years. That trial, using all three AIs (Arimidex, Femara and Aromosin) is still ongoing. There are no results yet because the ten year mark isn't here yet.
