PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: This is an observational study of participants in the MAP.3 breast cancer prevention randomized controlled trial. In MAP.3 participants were randomly assigned to either placebo or 25 mg exemestane daily for 5 years. Allocation was blinded. We are following 354 of these study participants and are blinded to treatment allocation.
