"anti-estrogens": Both tamoxifen and Femara (letrozole) are drugs used to treat patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Each drug affects breast cancer cells through a slightly different mechanism of action. Tamoxifen can be used for all women whereas Femara (letrozole) is only used after menopause.
