This research study involved almost 4,000 women from cancer centers in 18 countries. All were postmenopausal and were deemed to be at high risk of breast cancer. The study was funded by Cancer Research U.K., the National Health and Medical Research Council Australia, and drug makers Sanofi-Aventis and AstraZeneca Plc.
