Long-Term Benefits of Arimidex for Breast Cancer Patients
Arimidex, known generically as anastrozole, is used primarily to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. As an aromatase inhibitor, it reduces estrogen levels, helping slow the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors. Commonly prescribed post-surgery, it can decrease cancer recurrence risk, though side effects like joint pain and bone thinning may occur.
