Scientific titleTamoxifen following combination chemotherapy in treating women with operable invasive breast cancer
Study objectivesThe aim of the trial is to assess whether adjuvant Tamoxifen given after post operative chemotherapy for primary breast cancer adds to the disease free at overall survival advantage which results from adjuvant chemotherapy alone. In Scotland, Tamoxifen will be given for 5 years whereas in other countries the duration will be 3 years. (Part of the Scottish Chemo-Endocrine Trial D (EORTC Trial 10901) - UK CCCR ABC trial framework)

InterventionCurrent information as of 05/08/09:
Patients are stratified by age and by participating institution. All patients undergo surgical resection with local radiation therapy, as appropriate. Within 4 weeks of surgery, patients receive cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF) every 3 weeks for 6 courses. Radiotherapy is given within 4 weeks of completion of CMF. Before beginning the last course of CMF, patients are randomized to receive either oral tamoxifen daily for 5 years or no further therapy. Patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years, then yearly. Hormone therapy is prohibited except as specified above and except for short-term hormone replacement therapy for severe unresponsive menopausal symptoms.

Initial information at time of registration:
All patients receive chemotherapy, CMF (Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate and 5-Fluorouracil) repeated every three weeks for six cycles.

Patients are then randomised to one of two treatment groups:
1. Group A: Tamoxifen, 20 mg daily for five years
2. Group B: No further treatment
