title: [Chemo/endocrine therapy for breast cancer patients].
abstract: Standard adjuvant chemo/endocrine therapy for breast cancer patient is based upon St. Gallen's consensus 1998. Recent development in the field of adjuvant chemo/endocrine therapy is an usage of LH-RH analogue with tamoxifen for premenopausal hormone receptor positive women, and also an emerging role of taxans. Orally given 5-FU derivatives may work in adjuvant settings. The third generation aromatase inhibitors have established their role in second line hormone therapy for the advanced or recurrent breast cancer patients. High dose chemotherapy should not be used in outside clinical trials.
