Effect of exemestane on bone turnover markers and bone mineral density (BMD): 2 year results of the Dutch/Belgian Tamoxifen Exemestane Adjuvant Multicentre (TEAM) trial.
Abstract:#1154
Background Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) given to women with early breast cancer may adversely affect bone metabolism. We studied the effect of exemestane (E) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover and compared it to the effect of tamoxifen (T) treatment in a group of women participating in the Dutch and Belgian Tamoxifen Exemestane Adjuvant Multicentre (TEAM) trial. In this trial, postmenopausal women with hormone sensitive early breast cancer (n=3168) were randomised between 5 year… Show more
