The activity of letrozole in the body is 150-250 times more than that of the first generation of aromatase inhibitors - aminoglutethimide. Due to its high selectivity, and shall not affect the sugar cortical hormone, mineralocorticoid and thyroid functions, large dosage is of no inhibition for adrenal corticosteroid secretions, therefore, it has a higher therapeutic index. Preclinical studies have shown that Letrozole is of no potential toxicity to each system and target organ in the body, no mutagenic and carcinogenic effect, little side reaction, well tolerated, and compared with other aromatase inhibitors and anti-estrogen drugs, it has a stronger antitumor effect.

Two drugs in clinical trials have shown that compared with the current standard Tamoxifen treatment, it can better prevent the risk of breast cancer recurrence.
