We describe therapeutic challenges in a patient with breast cancer during follow-up after quadrantectomy. The patient had used hormone therapy for 5 years and then tamoxifen citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, for 3 years. When seen by us, she was taking Arimidex, an aromatase inhibitor. In accord with recommendations in the literature, bisphosphonate therapy was prescribed by clinicians at the Menopause Center in cooperation with the Oncology Center. We suggest that cooperation between menopause centers and oncology centers should continue in the follow-up of such patients.
我们描述了一位乳腺癌患者在象限切除术后随访期间所面临的治疗挑战。该患者已接受了5年的激素治疗,随后又服用了3年的枸橼酸他莫昔芬(一种选择性雌激素受体调节剂)。我们见到她时,她正在服用芳香化酶抑制剂阿那曲唑。根据文献中的建议,更年期中心的临床医生与肿瘤中心合作,为她开了双膦酸盐治疗。我们建议,在对此类患者的随访中,更年期中心和肿瘤中心应继续合作。
