Adjuvant Therapy for Breast Cancer: A Desert of Choices

Breast cancer is a common and complex disease, and finding the most effective treatments is a constant pursuit in the field of oncology. This research investigates the long-term effects of adjuvant therapy for stage II breast cancer, comparing the outcomes of radiotherapy alone, radiotherapy combined with tamoxifen, and tamoxifen alone. The authors analyze data from a large multicenter trial to assess the impact of these treatments on survival, recurrence-free survival, and disease patterns. Their findings provide valuable insights into the long-term benefits and risks associated with different adjuvant therapies for breast cancer.
