Study Overview

Brief Summary

To compare the overall QoL (Quality of Life) using Trial Outcome index (TOI) of FACT-B questionnaire for 3 years from baseline.

Detailed Description

  1. TOI is the sum of the scores from the physical and functional well-being and the breast cancer subscales.
  2. To assess incidence of adverse events (including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and endocrine, musculoskeletal) in Korean postmenopausal breast cancer patients in early adjuvant setting.
