摘要
Fulvestrant (Faslodex®) is an intramuscularly administered steroidal estrogen receptor antagonist that is devoid of any known estrogen agonist effects. It is indicated as second-line therapy for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer who have progressed following prior endocrine therapy.
