Sažetak
Lack of adherence of breast cancer patients to adjuvant hormonal therapy was reported in different retrospective and prospective studies in Western countries. We initiated prospective noninterventional study to investigate adherence to non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors, vitamin D and calcium in postmenopausal patients with early hormone positive breast cancer receiving adjuvant therapy in Croatia. Self-reported adherence to aromatase inhibitors in breast cancer patients in Croatia was similar to those reported in other studies. The adherence to vitamin D and/or calcium was lower than the adherence to aromatase inhibitors. Additionally, there is lack of physician’s adherence to guidelines on bone health in patients treated with aromatase inhibitors.
