How high does the breast cancer risk score have to be for this drug to be recommended?

Taking AIs is always the patient's choice. The usual recommendation for estrogen positive breast cancer is for 5 years of an AI drug. If your risk score is higher, 7 - 10 years can be indicated. If your risk score is low and you don't tolerate the drug well, you may choose to terminate use earlier. But even with a low risk score, it will always be recommended. Earlier today I read an article about a trial using AIs as a preventative BEFORE getting cancer.
