How Long Do You Need to Be On Anti-Estrogen Therapy?

breastcancerin... 👉👉 Rahul Singh MD: Navigating survivorship for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), early-stage breast cancer survivors come with several critical decisions in regard to treatment. In this exclusive interview sponsored by Biotheranostics, Inc., a Hologic Company, Dr. Singh and I discuss new tools that provide personalized information helping patients and healthcare providers make joint decisions based on prediction of benefit from anti-estrogen treatment.
The Breast Cancer Index® test tells you your risk of recurrence after 5 years of anti-estrogen therapy, and whether or not continuing past the 5-year mark is likely to reduce that risk, so you and your care team can make informed decisions on how long to stay on treatment. This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, advocate for personalized care with all the technology now available to us!
Rahul Singh, MD is an Oncologist & Hematologist located in the Northern Virginia & Washington D.C. area. Trained at George Washington University and in the Veterans Administration System, he is focused on promoting awareness and knowledge in different types of cancers and blood-related disorders. Dr. Singh is an advocate for breast cancer awareness, specifically given the many different misconceptions regarding prognosis and treatment. ⁠
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.

Thank you for your time Dr. Singh and Ms. Jordan. 💕This is very helpful. I will ask for this test at my next appointment to make my intentions known by my 5 year mark.

Thank you for this information!! I’m struggling to stay on Anastrozole with the aches and scared of bone loss. I’ve been on tamoxifen for one year then anastrozole this past year. Do they keep the initial tumor sample to use for the breast cancer index test? Can you take the BCI test only two years into estrogen blocker therapy?
