Abstract

Breast cancer diagnosed at a young age is associated with a poor prognosis. It is possible that inadequate endocrine therapy for the youngest women contributes to their poorer prognosis. Data on optimal endocrine therapy selection as well as duration for premenopausal women are crucial. Recently published clinical trials including Australian Breast and Colorectal Cancer Study Group-12 (ABCSG-12), E-3193, and Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial (SOFT)/Tamoxifen and Exemestane Trial (TEXT) have shed light on the role of ovarian function suppression and aromatase inhibitors in premenopausal women. Additionally, optimal duration of endocrine therapy has been addressed in the recent Adjuvant Tamoxifen: Longer Against Shorter (ATLAS) and Adjuvant Tamoxifen—To Offer More? (aTTom) trials.
