I live in USA. My onc and I discussed the AI use after five years, which will not come up for 18 months yet. Anyway, unless there is new data, his position is to stop AI after five years. He felt the negative side effects and the small positive in AI efficacy do not have sufficient tilt in favor of AI use after 5 years. I am inclined to agree with him.
