6 EBCTCG (meta-analysis) Tamoxifen is an anti-estrogen 37,000 women in 55 trials of tam vs nil 70% had HR+ tumours, most PM For ER+ pre/postmp pts 5 years of tam results in 47% relative reduction in recurrence risk at 10y 26% relative reduction in mortality risk 47% reduction in contralateral ca risk

7 Endocrine Therapy Reduces the risk of systemic recurrence Increased overall survival All women regardless of age, menopausal status, nodal involvement, tumour size, HER2 status or use of chemotherapy Therefore almost universal use across the population of HR +ve patients

8 Suppress plasma oestrogen levels by inhibiting or inactivating aromatase
