5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The present study is to determine the adverse effects and clinical efficacy of AI combined with Capecitabine metronomic chemotherapy in postmenopausal breast cancer patients with Estrogen receptor and/or Progestrogen receptor positive.
Detailed Description
Capecitabine (Xeloda ®) is currently the most biologically active oral fluoropyrimidine drug, and is widely used as first-line and second-line rescue therapy for advanced breast cancer ,third-generation aromatase inhibitors (AI) is the preferred adjuvant endocrine therapy for Postmenopausal hormone-sensitive breast cancer. Study showed that AI combined with metronomic chemotherapy could improve the objective response and clinical benefit in neoadjuvant therapy.
