Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage policy related issues regarding the use of fulvestrant in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence found is of good methodological quality. It supports the use of fulvestrant as second line hormonal therapy; the 500 mg dose being most widely recommended. When assessing the use of fulvestrant in combination with anastrozole as first line therapy, the results of the RCT found are contradictory; therefore new results are required to enable recommending this regimen.
