Dr. Brufsky on the Disease-Free Survival of Aromatase Inhibitors for Breast Cancer

Adam M. Brufsky, MD, PhD, professor of Medicine, associate chief of Hematology/Oncology, co-director of the Comprehensive Breast Care Center, associate director of Clinical Investigation, University of Pittsburgh, discusses the 5 versus 10 year disease-free survival of aromatase inhibitors investigated in the NSAPB B-42 trial.

An important ongoing trial is the NSAPB B-42 trial looking at 5 versus 10 years of aromatase inhibitor therapy. Statistically, there was no difference between the disease-free survival of 5 versus 10 years, explains Brufsky.
