Sažetak
In the absence of trial data regarding the optimum duration of AI therapy, this study indicates that over one-third (36%)of oncologist surveyed are using adjuvant AIs for more than 5 years. This practice is likely an extrapolation of data from the extended adjuvant setting. The majority of respondents prescribing initial AI therapy are most likely driven by reported data from large RCTs that demonstrated significanty greater benefit for AI therapy over tamoxifen.
