Exemestane

Exemestane is used along with other medications for the treatment of estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer (breast tumors that need estrogen to grow) in postmenopausal women, following 2 to 3 years of tamoxifen therapy. It is also used in later stages of estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer (advanced breast cancer) in postmenopausal women who have not responded to an anti-estrogen therapy earlier.
