ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED Between April 1994 and May 1997 103 breast cancer patients (pts), pT1c-3a, pN0-1, M0, were randomised after surgery to adjuvant tamoxifen (20 mg per day) or to tamoxifen plus CMF (C 500 mg/m2, M 40 mg/m2 and F 600 mg/m2 on days 1st and 8th q 28 day) in 6 cycles. The median age (49-72 years, median 58), tumour size, number of involved lymphnodes (0-3), estrogens receptor status, grade (I-III) and type of operation were well balanced among the 50 pts on tamoxifen and the 53 pts on tamoxifen plus CMF pts, preferably postmenopausal. RESULTS:
Grade of toxicity according to WHO criteria was not higher then two in both arms. Toxicity both haematological and non-haematological was higher in the group treated with chemotherapy (0 vs 32 resp. 20%) except weight gain (52% in both group). After median follow-up of 42 mos five recurrences in tamoxifen and seven in tamoxifen plus CMF pts were observed (p = NS). The projected 3-y DFS is 92% for tamoxifen and 88% for tamoxifen plus CMF (p = NS). The 3-y OS is 88% for tamoxifen and 80% for tamoxifen plus CMF pts (p = NS).CONCLUSIONS:
Both regimens are equally effective with higher toxicity in the group with combined chemo- and hormonal therapy.
