                    [Summary] => A study which was done to compare the efficacy of two drugs for breast cancer showed that letrozole is more effective as an initial therapy after surgery in post-menopausal women with early breast cancer compared with tamoxifen.


The results of Breast International Group 1-98 (BIG 1-98) published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that letrozole reduced the risk of breast cancer returning by an additional 19 percent over the reduction offered by tamoxifen.

                    [Summary] => Promising new data from a landmark study demonstrated an impressive 40 percent reduction in the risk of distant breast cancer recurrences, or metastases, with extended adjuvant letrozole in post-menopausal women with early breast cancer.


These data were presented during the "Best of Oncology" session in this year’s annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). 


Distant metastases are a well-established risk factor for breast cancer death.
