Phase: III 

Description: Phase III Trial of Observation +/- Tamoxifen Vs. Rt +/- Tamoxifen For Good Risk Duct Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS) of The Female Breast 

Eligibility: Women > 26 years of age, with unicentric mammographically detected DCIS, < 2.5 cm in greatest dimension. Lesions must be classified as low or intermediate grade DCIS. Patients must be clinically node negative. 

Objective: In the defined good-risk group, assess the role of whole breast radiation +/- tamoxifen compared to wide excision to negative margins alone +/- tamoxifen, in decreasing or delaying the appearance of local failure, both invasive and in-situ, and preventing the need for mastectomy. Assess distant disease free survival, adopt a working pathology classification system for DCIS, establish a registry for patients with an epidemiological questionnaire, and to establish a tissue bank of patients who progress to local failure in the study breast. 

Participation: Open to member centres 

Lay Description: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on the patient and their breast cancer of treatment with radiation therapy with or without tamoxifen, compared to the standard practice of careful observation with or without tamoxifen which is the way this disease is commonly treated.
