Abstract

Anastrazole has recently been approved for the prevention of breast cancer in high-risk women in the UK. When given to high-risk women anastrazole halves the risk of developing breast cancer but doesn't reduce the risk of breast cancer death and is associated with significant harms. Women need to be counselled about both the benefits and risks associated with anastrazole use to enable an informed treatment choice.
