Two years of adjuvant tamoxifen in premenopausal patients with breast cancer: a randomised, controlled trial with long-term follow-up.
European Journal of Cancer 2005 January
Adjuvant tamoxifen treatment increases recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in early breast cancer, although in premenopausal patients the number of studies comparing tamoxifen vs no treatment are limited. We report herein the effect on RFS of adjuvant tamoxifen treatment in a multicentre trial of premenopausal patients with stage II breast cancer patients randomised between 1986 and 1991 to 2 years of tamoxifen treatment (n=276) or no treatment (n=288). The receptor status of the tumour was known for 541 (96%) of the patients included. Tamoxifen treatment significantly increased RFS in patients with hormone receptor-positive (oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and/or progesterone receptor-positive (PR+)) tumours (Relative Risk (RR) 0.65; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.48-0.89, P=0.006), and the beneficial effect of tamoxifen was extended to patients with indicators of poor prognosis, such as young age and nodal-positivity. PR status was a significant predictor of response to tamoxifen in multivariate models with testing of interactions of hormone receptor status and adjuvant therapy.
