Current feasibility of endocrine therapy for breast cancer

Abstract

The paper considers the current feasibility of endocrine therapy for breast cancer (BC). It presents trials of the efficacy of fulvestrant in the treatment of patients with BC. Practically all clinical trials have demonstrated that the drug is well tolerated, without causing any significant systemic estrogen-like effects, as well as complications associated with the use of aromatase inhibitors.
