Aromatase Inhibitors and their Connection to Autoimmunity
Carlos H Barcenas , Huifang Lu , Savannah Bowman
The aromatase inhibitors (AIs) anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane are often prescribed as endocrine therapy for patients with estrogen receptor–positive breast cancer. AIs are associated with musculoskeletal side effects such as bone loss, arthralgias, myalgias, and tenosynovitis. Notably, exemestane is a steroidal AI and both anastrozole and letrozole are non-steroidal AIs.
