Detailed description
This study aimed at evaluating following: 1. Validity Assessment: 1. Primary End Point: To evaluate 5-year diseae free survival rate after Letrozole treatment according to the estrogen receptor expression in postmenopausal women 2. Secondary End Point: To evaluate overall survival rate(OS) and Time to distance recurrence(TTDR) after Hormonal therapy in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer 2. Safety Assessment: To evaluate all adverse events including serious adverse events after Letrozole treatment.
