February 26, 2014 updated by: AstraZeneca

An Epidemiological Prospective Cohort Study to Describe Treatment Patterns of Fulvestrant And ExemeSTane in Postmenopausal Patients With Advanced HR+ Breast Cancer Under Real-life Conditions in GERmany

For patients receiving Faslodex 500 mg, to compare the effectiveness in terms of Time to Progression (TTP) as a function of the line of treatment (i.e. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd line). For all patients, to collect and explore real-life data on the epidemiology and management of Pseudomyxoma Peritonea (PMP) patients with HR+ advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with Faslodex 500 mg or exemestane.
