Abstract：Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women,which directly affects women's physical and mental health and quality of life.As an important part of breast cancer treatment,endocrine therapy can significantly improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients.However,in the process of endocrine therapy,the follow-up management of patients is often neglected,resulting in insufficient evaluation of treatment effect and lack of psychological support.At present,although some studies have explored the strategies of endocrine therapy for breast cancer,there is still a lack of systematic summary and analysis of the specific points of follow-up.This article introduces the role of estrogen in breast cancer and the mechanism of endocrine therapy,and comprehensively reviews the key points of follow-up in breast cancer patients with endocrine therapy,including therapeutic effect evaluation,complications monitoring,quality of life evaluation and psychological support.Through a comprehensive analysis of the relevant literature,this paper aims to provide clinicians with effective follow-up strategies to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients,so as to provide a reference for the comprehensive management of breast cancer.
