AT THE ASCO ANNUAL MEETING 2014

"I don’t think we can consider these results definitive," she said. "Having said that, and with these caveats and recognizing the uncertainty, I would be comfortable offering goserelin to my young patients with estrogen receptor–negative breast cancer who desire to preserve fertility or prevent premature menopause."
