Study objectivesNot provided at time of registration
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBreast cancer
Intervention1. Regimen A: chemotherapy, FE[50]C repeated every three weeks for eight cycles followed by hormonal manipulation.
2. Regimen B: chemotherapy, FE[50]C repeated every three weeks for eight cycles.
3. Regimen C: chemotherapy, FE[75]C repeated every three weeks for eight cycles followed by hormonal manipulation.
4. Regimen D: chemotherapy, FE[75]C repeated every three weeks for eight cycles.

Patient's menopausal status to be assessed post chemotherapy. Pre-menopausal patients randomised to receive hormonal manipulation are to receive a long acting Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH), goserelin or equivalent, every 28 days for three years. Post-menopausal patients randomised to receive hormonal manipulation are to receive tamoxifen 20 mg daily for three years.
