Breast Cancer Trials of Oral Everolimus 2 (BOLERO-2), a phase III study in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer progressing despite nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy, showed statistically significant benefits with adding everolimus to exemestane. Moreover, in preclinical studies, mammalian

Hormone-dependent breast cancer can be successfully treated by either blocking the estrogen receptor, as with tamoxifen, or reducing the production of estrogens, as with aromatase inhibitors. Exemestane is a third-generation aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer

For postmenopausal patients with hormone-sensitive breast cancer, outcome is worse with increasing age at diagnosis. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of breast cancer recurrence (locoregional and distant), and contralateral breast cancer by age at diagnosis.
