Phase III Trial of Tamoxifen Alone vs. Tamoxifen Plus Radiation Therapy for Good Risk Duct Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS) of the Female Breast
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Estrogen can
stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen may fight breast
cancer by blocking the uptake of estrogen by the tumor cells. It is not yet known if
radiation therapy is more effective than observation, with or without tamoxifen, in treating
ductal carcinoma in situ.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with
that of observation, with or without tamoxifen, in treating women who have ductal carcinoma
in situ.

cancer by blocking the uptake of estrogen by the tumor cells. It is not yet known if
radiation therapy is more effective than observation, with or without tamoxifen, in treating
ductal carcinoma in situ.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with
that of observation, with or without tamoxifen, in treating women who have ductal carcinoma
in situ.
OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the efficacy of whole breast radiotherapy vs observation with or without
optional tamoxifen in decreasing or delaying the appearance of local failure (both
invasive and in situ) and preventing the need for mastectomy in women with good-risk
ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast.
- Compare distant disease-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age
(under 50 vs 50 and over), final path margins (negative vs 3-9 mm vs at least 10 mm),
mammographic size of primary (no greater than 1 cm vs greater than 1 cm to 2.5 cm), nuclei
grade (low vs intermediate), and tamoxifen use (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2
treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients undergo observation and may receive optional oral tamoxifen once daily
(at the discretion of the physician) for 5 years.
- Arm II: Beginning within 12 weeks after final surgery, patients receive radiotherapy to
the whole breast once daily, 5 days a week, for 3.5-5.5 weeks. Patients may receive
optional tamoxifen as in arm I.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then
annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,790 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 years.
