| Abstract | Tamoxifen is the standard treatment in premenopausal hormone-receptor positive breast cancer patients with additional benefit in some of these women by adding ovarian ablation or suppression. Actual trials are investigating the use of more complete estradiol suppression with an LHRH agonist in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (TEXT, SOFT and ABCSG 12 trial) in premenopausal patients. Outside clinical trials this treatment may be considered in special cases when tamoxifen is contraindicated. In the majority of postmenopausal women the optimal adjuvant hormonal therapy includes the use of an aromatase inhibitor. However the best use of these agents, either as initial therapy or after treatment with tamoxifen has still to be answered. Again the optimal duration of endocrine therapy remains still open. Extended adjuvant therapy with an AI after completion of five years tamoxifen is especially in node positive patients a reasonable option. However if extension of endocrine therapy with an AI after five years of an AI-containing regimen is also beneficial is currently investigated in several clinical trials. In selected postmenopausal patients with hormone-receptor positive disease the use of five years of tamoxifen can still be a viable option. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
