Study shows long-term anti-hormonal therapy benefits postmenopausal women with low-risk breast tumors.

A recent study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reveals that postmenopausal women with low-risk breast tumors see long-term benefits from anti-hormonal therapy for at least 20 years. However, younger women who have not yet gone through menopause experience shorter-term benefits. The study, involving over 1,200 women diagnosed between 1976 and 1997, also found that women with high-risk tumors had less benefit regardless of menopausal status. Researchers emphasize the need for new markers to predict long-term benefits for younger patients.
