Phase III Trial Comparing Efficacy and Tolerance of Fulvestrant for 3 Years (y) Combined With Anastrozole 5 y Versus Anastrozole 5 y as Adjuvant Hormonotherapy in Postmenopausal With Early Breast Cancer and Positive Hormone Receptors

GEICAM/2006-10

Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive and negative Her2 tumours. Before randomization, the patients will be stratified according to the center, positive nodes (0 vs. 1-3 vs. ≥4), previous chemotherapy (yes vs no) and hormonal receptors status.
