endocrine therapy with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for women with hormone receptorpositive breast cancer is a prime example. Although some data support AI use for 5 years based on randomized clinical trials, evidence is still unclear beyond this duration, and

aromatase inhibitors (AIs) exemestane and anastrozole have shown even greater breast cancer risk reduction for women at increased risk of developing the disease. 5 , 6 However, the trials were small and these agents are not currently FDA-approved for this

. 6 Within cancer care, the earliest reports of nonadherence rates were documented in breast cancer with endocrine therapies, ranging from 12% to 59% with tamoxifen and 9% to 50% with aromatase inhibitors. 7 In a systematic review by Greer et al, 1
