Abstract
Over the past year we have seen a change in principles of endocrine therapy of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in general, and the first-line therapy in particular. The article presents the results of Phase III FALCON trial reported in Copenhagen during ESMO Congress. This trial has confirmed the benefit of fulvestrant as first-line endocrine therapy in relation to progression-free survival compared to the use of an aromatase inhibitor - anastrozole, standard variant existing for a long time.
