Hormone therapy for breast cancer

Following Beatson's publications in 1896, various modalities of endocrine therapy applied to breast cancer have been developed. Endocrine treatment has greatly contributed to the improvement of the disease's prognosis. Tamoxifen has established itself as a first choice adjuvant therapy for patients with tumors expressing hormone receptors. Over the last decade, third generation aromatase inhibitors have demonstrated their efficacy amongst menopausal patients, alone or in combination with tamoxifen. Efficacy of these medications is dependent on patient's compliance. This article proposes a synthesis of the main knowledges available in the field of breast cancer endocrine therapy.
