postmenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive advanced breast cancer that had progressed or recurred during treatment with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor randomized patients to exemestane with or without the mTOR inhibitor everolimus. 17 The results of

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
