Preventing late recurrence in hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer: a review.
European Journal of Cancer 2022 September
Late recurrences are a key challenge for patients with early-stage oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, with the risk of disease relapse continuing steadily from 5 to more than 20 years after diagnosis. Five years of adjuvant endocrine therapy with tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor was shown many years ago to improve survival. More recently, the trials of extended adjuvant endocrine therapy for more than 5 years have shown a further small gain, but with an associated small risk of increased long-term toxicity including bone loss, cardiovascular impairment and impaired quality of life. This review describes the efficacy and safety of extended endocrine therapy, the optimal selection criteria for patient benefit and the potential for novel agents to improve long-term outcomes.
