TAMOXIFEN
Messages for clinical practice in 2010
 PgR does not predict for benefit of
adjuvant TAM
 For ER-PgR+ patients, the tumor should
be retested and if doubt remains, TAM
could be offered
Medical Oncology
2010 EBCTCG OVERVIEW
TAMOXIFEN
Messages for clinical practice in 2010


There is presently little incentive to
prescribe more than 5y of TAM, in
postmenopausal women
More than 5y of TAM may be useful at
least for DFS in premenopausal women
especially those without a uterus

Halving big risks and halving
small risks by chemotherapy
• Proportional risk reduction does not
depend much on age, ER status or nodal
status (or on tumour grade or tumour
diameter)
• Absolute risk reduction, however,
depends on the prognosis – and, for ER+
disease, this is the prognosis with
endocrine therapy
• Information lacking on tumour gene
expression and on quantitative
immunohistochemistry
