Brief Summary: 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
Detailed Description: 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 25 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 35-55 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 1790 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 years
