Abstract / Description of output

Neoadjuvant systemic therapy of large and locally advanced breast cancers may, through shrinkage, enable breast conservation surgery. Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is used frequently in the treatment of oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The aim was to examine the response patterns in a letrozole-treated group compared with a chemotherapy-treated group.
