This study is the first to investigate treatment with fulvestrant 500 mg combined with anastrozole.
is more effective compared with anastrozole (1.0 mg o. d.)
In conclusion, provided that a sufficient time horizon is taken and that long-term model predictions are confirmed from further follow-up from the ATAC study, anastrozole is a highly cost-effective adjuvant therapy compared to tamoxifen.
Fulvestrant was as effective as anastrozole.
In postmenopausal women with hormonally sensitive ABC, anastrozole should be considered as the new standard first-line treatment.
The higher 10 mg dose did not result in additional clinical benefit, but was well tolerated reflecting the good therapeutic margin with anastrozole.
Finally, anastrozole substantially reduces the incidence of contralateral breast cancer compared with tamoxifen in women with HR+ early breast cancer and, therefore, is a potential chemopreventive agent.
Anastrozole is thus positioned to become the standard care for postmenopausal women with HR+ disease across the whole breast cancer continuum.
In advanced disease, anastrozole has a significant survival benefit and tolerability advantage compared with megestrol acetate when used as second-line treatment.
In the adjuvant setting, anastrozole has superior efficacy and tolerability compared with tamoxifen in newly diagnosed patients and those who have already received 2–3 years’ prior adjuvant tamoxifen.
These findings represent potential steps towards individualized anastrozole therapy.
Furthermore, anastrozole has preoperative efficacy in HR+ large or locally advanced tumors.
The use of anastrozole was associated with a higher incidence of CTS but few participants required surgery.
RESULT(S) The pharmacokinetics of anastrozole were linear, predictable, and consistent with previously published data in healthy volunteers.
