Study objectivesNot provided at time of registration
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBreast cancer
InterventionAll patients receive wide local excision of primary tumour.

Following surgery patients are randomised to one of four treatment arms:
1. Arm A: Observation only.
2. Arm B: Tamoxifen, 20 mg daily for 5 years or until relapse.
3. Arm C: Radiotherapy only, the radiotherapy technique is at the discretion of the radiotherapist. Suggested fractionations are radiotherapy to the whole breast 40-50 Gy given in fifteen to twenty-five fractions followed by a boost to the tumour bed of 10-15 Gy in five to eight fractions. An iridium of caesium implant is an acceptable alternative.
4. Arm D: Radiotherapy as in Arm C plus tamoxifen, 20 mg daily for 5 years or until relapse.
