入选标准

  • Postmenopausal women able to comply with the protocol requirements with confirmed primary invasive breast cancer whose tumours are estrogen-and/or progesterone-receptor positive
  • Clinical stage T2 or >T2 tumours which in the investigators' opinion would not be eligible for breast-conserving surgery. The nodal status will be evaluated by palpation and/or ultrasound.
  • Postmenopausal status defined by one of the following:
  • Women with an intact uterus AND
  • ≥ 55 years of age, OR
  • < 55 years of age without menses for the last 5 years, OR
  • < 55 years of age and have not had menses for at least the last 12 months (but have had menses in the last 5 years) and have postmenopausal levels of follicle-stimulating hormone.
  • Women without an intact uterus AND
  • ≥ 55 years of age, OR
  • < 55 years of age and postmenopausal levels of follicle-stimulating hormone
  • Both ovaries removed (prior to the diagnosis of breast cancer).
  • Tumour measurable by clinical examination, mammography and ultrasound
  • Adequate bone marrow function as shown by:
  • WBC ≥ 3.5 x 10^9/L
  • ANC ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
  • Platelets ≥ LLN
  • Hb > 10 g/dL

排除标准

  • Multifocal disease (cancer that starts in several different sites)
  • Patients with bilateral breast tumours.
  • Patients who are eligible for breast conserving surgery.
  • Evidence of inflammatory breast cancer or distant metastasis.
  • Simultaneous anti-cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy/biological response modifiers, endocrine therapy (including steroids), bisphosphonate therapy and radiotherapy. NOTE: Bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis is NOT excluded, and can be continued. Patients who have received hormone replacement therapy will NOT be excluded if it is discontinued at least 2 weeks before starting the study.
  • The following additional treatments are NOT allowed during the treatment phase of the study:
  • Any other anti-cancer therapy
  • Hormone replacement therapy.
  • Estrogen cream (including any intra-vaginal preparation).
  • Steroids other than creams or inhalers.
  • Megestrol acetate for the treatment of hot flushes.
  • Radiation therapy.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
