Updated Recommendations on Extended Therapy

Many women with node-negative breast cancer are potential candidates for and may be offered extended AI therapy for up to a total of 10 years of adjuvant endocrine treatment based on considerations of recurrence risk using established prognostic factors. However, as the recurrence risk is lower, the benefits are likely narrower for such patients. Women with low-risk node-negative tumors should not routinely be offered extended therapy. (, , )
