Study Summary
Eligible patients will be post-menopausal hormone receptor- and lymph node-positive females who recently underwent primary surgery for breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to letrozole (2.5 mg per day for 5 years) vs anastrozole (1 mg per day for 5 years). Follow up will occur for 5 years after the completion of enrollment for survival and disease status updates.
Primary Outcome
Disease-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of re-occurrence of invasive breast cancer in local, regional or distant sites, new invasive breast cancer in the contra-lateral breast, or death from any cause.
