Registered summary

Adjuvant hormonotherapy is a cornerstone of treatment for localized hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer, accounting for approximately 80% of patients. The main classes used are selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs, including tamoxifen) and aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane), with or without LH-RH agonists (leuprorelin, goserelin), administered daily for 5 to 8 years. However, these treatments are frequently associated with adverse events, predominantly musculoskeletal disorders such as arthralgia, which can significantly impair quality of life. The full summary is on the listing.
