Aromatase Inhibitors in Breast Cancer
Abstract
Until recently, tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen, was the mainstay of endocrine treatment of breast cancer. However, new aromatase inhibitors that are many times more potent and specific than the first such agent, aminoglutethimide, are changing the management of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This review discusses the role of aromatase inhibitors such as letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane in the treatment of breast cancer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
