aIncluding as part of MA.17. bTamoxifen must have been up to 3 years and may not have been given during years 4 and 5 of the 5 years of adjuvant hormonal therapy. cMust have completed 4 to 6 years of prior selective estrogen receptor modulators or aromatase inhibitors (AIs), or a sequential combination of both. When calculating 4 to 6 years, neoadjuvant endocrine therapy should not be included. dIntermittent: 48 months over 5 years: 4 × 9 months (9 months followed by 3-month treatment-free interval in years 1 to 4, at least 36 months) plus 1 × 12 months in years 5 at least 48 months. →, switch to; A, anastrozole; DATA, Different Durations of Anastrozole after Tamoxifen trial; L, letrozole; LEAD, Letrozole Adjuvant Therapy Duration trial; NSABP, National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project; SALSA, Secondary Adjuvant Long-term Study with Arimidex trial; SOLE, Study of Letrozole Extension trial; T, tamoxifen.
