Brief Summary: RATIONALE Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells Hormone therapy using triptorelin exemestane and tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen It is not yet known whether giving triptorelin together with exemestane is more effective than triptorelin and tamoxifen in treating hormone-responsive breast cancer
PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying triptorelin and exemestane to see how well they work compared to triptorelin and tamoxifen in treating premenopausal women with hormone-responsive breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Compare the disease-free survival breast cancer-free interval distant recurrence-free interval and overall survival of premenopausal women with endocrine-responsive breast cancer when treated with triptorelin and exemestane vs triptorelin and tamoxifen Compare the quality of life including late side effects of early menopause of patients treated with these regimens
OUTLINE This is a randomized international multicenter study Patients are stratified according to planned use of concurrent adjuvant chemotherapy yes vs no and number of positive lymph nodes 0 vs 1 or more Treatment duration is 5 years Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year every 6 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter Quality of life is assessed at baseline every 6 months for 2 years and annually for 3 years
