Recommendations for aromatase inhibitors as adjuvant endocrine therapy for post-menopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. This document supplements guideline recommendation 19 about the use of tamoxifen for the management of post-menopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer contained in the National Breast Cancer Centre** 'Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Early Breast Cancer', 2nd edition, 2001 (page 9). ** In February 2008, National Breast Cancer Centre (NBCC), incorporating the Ovarian Cancer Program, changed its name to National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC).
