Letroze 2.5mg Letrozole Film Coated Tablets Non-Steroidal Aromatase Inhibitor
  • Letroze is an aromatase inhibitor approved to treat: postmenopausal women diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer right after surgery (or possibly chemotherapy and radiation) to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back. Two large studies have shown the benefits of Letrozole. The international BIG 1-98 trial, started in 1998, compared Letrozole to tamoxifen after surgery in postmenopausal women diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer.
    The results showed that Letrozole was better than tamoxifen for:
    • Increasing the time before the cancer comes back in those who experience recurrence • Reducing the risk of the cancer spreading to other parts of the body The MA-17 study, conducted in Canada, looked at whether taking Letrozole for 5 years AFTER taking tamoxifen for 5 years (for a total of 10 years of hormonal therapy) could lower the risk of the cancer coming back in postmenopausal women diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer. The results showed that Letrozole: • Reduced the risk of the cancer coming back • Reduced the risk of the cancer spreading to another part of the body compared to not taking Letrozole after 5 years of tamoxifen.
