Hot flushes, night sweats and painful joints are good signs for women who are on hormone – based drugs for breast cancer. The symptoms mean that the tumors are less likely to recur in these women.

According to a new study led by Jack Cuzick of Cancer Research UK, women who were taking anastrozole or tamoxifen for breast cancer and experienced menopausal like symptoms had less likelihood of recurrent tumors.

The researchers used data from 4,000 women with early-stage breast cancer. It was found that for women who developed joint symptoms after the treatment, the recurrence rate was reduced by about 41 percent. But those who developed more vasomotor symptoms, the recurrence rate decreased by 47 percent.
