The researchers found that tamoxifen, raloxifene, and the aromatase inhibitors exemestane and anastrozole correlated with a reduced incidence of invasive breast cancer in placebo-controlled trials (risk ratios, 0.69, 0.44, and 0.45, respectively).
This study examined the cost effectiveness of incorporating gene expression testing into standard practice using data from the Anastrozole or Tamoxifen Alone or Combined, or ATAC, clinical trial and cost data from the London Regional Cancer Program and other Canadian sources.
Aromatase inhibitors (Als) such as letrozole and anastrozole, which are used to treat breast cancer, have been suggested as alternatives to gonadotropins and chlomiphine citrate due to their easy compliance and oral administration (Lee & Ledger, 2011).
Data from the Phase III FLACON trial demonstrated median progression-free survival (PFS) as being significantly longer with Faslodex when compared to anastrozole, with 16.6 months and 13.8 months, respectively.
Aromatase inhibitors, which include anastrozole (Arimidex), exemestane (Aromasin), and letrozole (Femara), were taken by 26 percent of the women for an average of 2.9 years.
AS PART OF ITS NEW WOMEN'S WELLNESS INITIATIVE, representatives of Schnucks Pharmacies have made four different oral breast cancer medications (Letrozole, Megestrol, Anastrozole and Tamoxifen) available for only $9 with a prescription.
In a randomized trial of letrozole versus anastrozole for ovulation induction, 40 women with PCOS were randomly assigned to receive ovulation induction with letrozole (2.5 mg daily for 5 days) or anastrozole (1 mg daily for 5 days).
