Aromatase inhibitors and inactivators have been extensively tested in patients with advanced breast cancer, but it is unclear whether they offer any survival benefits compared with standard hormonal treatment with tamoxifen or progestagens. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled

Formestane (Lentaron(R), 4-hydroxyandrostenedione) is a steroidal aromatase inhibitor used for treatment of advanced breast cancer. Clinically, it is administered as a depot form once fortnightly by intramuscular (i.m.) injection. To investigate the pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and metabolism of the drug, seven
Formestane (4-hydroxyandrostenedione) is an aromatase inhibitor which significantly reduces plasma levels of estrogen and has shown antitumour activity in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Objective response rates in heavily pretreated patients with advanced breast cancer generally range between 20 and

Studies have shown that the administration of androstenedione (ADIONE) significantly increases the urinary ratio of testosterone glucuronide to epitestosterone glucuronide (T/E) - measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) - in subjects with a normal ( approximately 1) or naturally high
Using Western blot as the major technique, we studied the effects of the three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved aromatase inhibitors (AI) on aromatase protein stability in the aromatase-overexpressing breast cancer cell line MCF-7aro. We have found that exemestane treatment
