Why should I take FEMARA if Im nearing the end of my 5 years on tamoxifen?
The risk of cancer coming back is ongoing, even after treatment with tamoxifen. One third of all women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer experience a recurrence2. More than half of those occur five years after initial treatment. Due to clinical trial results, which show that FEMARA can reduce the risk of cancer coming back by 38% after tamoxifen, your oncologist may prescribe FEMARA1 after completing five years of tamoxifen.
