Brief Summary: RATIONALE Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells Hormone therapy using tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by reducing the production of estrogen It is not yet known if prolonged tamoxifen is more effective than shorter tamoxifen therapy following curative treatment for breast cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying giving tamoxifen over a prolonged period of time to see how well it works compared to giving tamoxifen over a shorter period of time in treating patients who have had a breast tumor removed
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Assess the balance of risks and benefits in prolonging the duration of adjuvant tamoxifen by at least 5 years in patients with curatively treated breast cancer who have already had about 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen

OUTLINE This is a randomized study After about 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen recurrence-free patients are randomized to stop tamoxifen treatment immediately or to continue tamoxifen treatment for at least 5 more years

Patients are followed annually

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 20000 patients will be accrued for this study
