The risk lowering effect of aromatase inhibitors is on a case by case basis. It is best to ask your oncologist what your personal risk is, and how much the AI will lower it. I think it is frustrating for those of us with breast cancer to not be able to find a universal number for risk. But just inquire a little further and the information will be helpful.

I was told by my mayo medical oncologist that the risk factor improvement is still somewhat unknown because the studies are still in progress. (ie people are still on it, year 7-8 so no info on year 10) He said all indications are the positives will continue to increase as they have seen good results so far.
