Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Adjuvant therapy after total mastectomy and axillary clearance in postmenopausal women with breast cancer and axillary node metastasis was assessed; chemo-endocrine therapy (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil, prednisone, and tamoxifen; CMFp + T) was compared with endocrine therapy (prednisone and tamoxifen; p + T), and with no adjuvant treatment in 463 patients aged less than or equal to 65 years. Endocrine therapy was compared with no adjuvant therapy in 320 patients aged 66-80 years. At median follow-up of 36 months, disease-free survival was significantly longer in CMFp + T patients than in p + T or control patients; p + T also significantly increased disease-free survival. There were no significant differences in overall survival between the randomised groups. In analyses of patterns of first failure, chemo-endocrine therapy reduced local, regional, and distant relapses, whereas endocrine therapy reduced local and regional recurrences only.
