I have some info, I hope this helps. Aromatase inhibitors have been used in reproductive illnesses for a long time and are gaining a lot of popularity in the treatment of Endo.

You can contact Dr. Bulun directly to go right to the key info at...

Serdar E. Bulun, MD Director, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Molecular Genetics University of Illinois at Chicago 820 S. Wood St., M/C 808 Chicago, IL 60612 Tel: (312) 996-8197 Fax: (312) 996-4238 (this is public information, don't worry...I'm not giving out top secret contact details =)

The ERC has a hard copy transcript and a VHS tape of in-depth presentations by him, also. http://www.endocenter.org

Dr. Cook has info on his site at: http://www.drcook.com/adca7.html

The SGI 2002 Conference Report can be found on Medscape at: www.medscape.com/viewarticle/431591_4?WebLogicSession=PiWi99drIowVtusXq6gavcrjmDu2Af4SWWWB2HIIrpD6cfL5WRZS|-792488052100904750/184161392/6/7001/7001/7002/7002/7001/-1

Check w/AstraZeneca's corporate site for more info; they are the ones who make the commercially available Aromatase Inhibitors. I THINK the site is astrazeneca.com, but I could be wrong.

Also check Medline for the following citation abstracts, or see if maybe your doc, or local library even, has copies...some are new, some are older, some are repetitive, all are interesting...
