Citando:
"Women should be offered 10 years of drugs to prevent the return of breast cancer, rather than five as now, according to a major study showed longer-term treatment reduced the numbers whose disease came back.
Huge numbers of women in the UK and around the world are already taking hormone therapy – drugs that block oestrogen in the body that can fuel breast cancer growth. Many abandon them within the first few years because of the side-effects or because they feel well and do not want to be on medication."
