  • Drugs that have been FDA approved in the treatment of breast cancer
  • Drugs that are Compendia-listed for off-label use for breast cancer based on clinical studies that suggest beneficial use in some cases. Please note: If a check mark appears in the FDA column it will NOT appear in the Compendia off-label use column
