Studies have demonstrated its ability to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and improve survival rates in postmenopausal women.

Additional Information

Pharmacological Effects: Anastrozole works by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. By reducing estrogen levels in the body, Anastrozole helps slow or stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown that Anastrozole is as effective as or superior to tamoxifen in the adjuvant treatment of early breast cancer. The ATAC (Arimidex, Tamoxifen Alone or in Combination) trial demonstrated improved disease-free survival with Anastrozole compared to tamoxifen.
