Abstract

Systemic therapy of breast cancer was introduced in 1896 by means of surgical ovariectomy [1]. Endocrine treatment is now widely accepted in advanced breast cancer with positive oestrogen or progesterone receptor status indicating endocrine dependency of the disease. Tamoxifen has been the treatment of choice for more than twenty years, due to it's favourable efficacy/tolerability ratio [2]. Several years ago, the third generation aromatase inhibitors have been introduced in the clinics [3]. Anastrozole is a potent selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor which can be administered orally as a once daily dose.
