This news is the result of a study conducted by the NCIC clinical trials at the University of the Queen of Ontario, Canada. ? results of the study were presented at this year of the meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago. The New England Journal of Medicine published the study, which lasted 5 years and included more than 4,500 women living in North America, Spain, and? France. ? women in this study were already menopause and have been identified as being at high risk of breast cancer.

Is not the first time that hormone replacement therapy has been regarded as Chemoprevention of breast cancer. ? tamoxifen has been widely prescribed for many pre-and postmenopausal women after treatment for breast cancer. ? sensitive estrogens prevents the return of breast cancer by blocking the receptors of estrogen, but it does not stop estrogen production ? the downside of tamoxifen., and the reason that many patients ne understand for five full years which is the standard schema, it effects. ? side tamoxifen causes menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats and raises your risk of cancer of the endometrium, cataracts and stroke.

But if research remains valid, this drug may prevent much mastectomy preventive in the young and the old women who have had genetic testing and found to have a strong family history and genetic predisposition to breast cancer ? for women inconvenient not at the beginning of a case of hot flashes in order to avoid a breast tumor.side effects of the exemestane seem not too bad.
