Is Letrozole Taken For Five Years After A Mastectomy Beneficial?
Question: AFTER A MASTECTOMY, IS CONTINUED USE OF LETROZOLE BEYOND 5 YEARS OF ANY VALUE TO THE PATIENT?
Brief Answer:
Should only be used for 5 years
Detailed Answer:
Hi
After a mastectomy letrozole should only be continued for 5 years and its use beyond 5 years offers no additional benefit.
If it is used beyond 5 years then it causes side effects such as high cholesterol and bone and joint pain.
