Abstract
Twenty-seven early localized breast cancer cases in elderly patients, 21 stage I and 6 stage II, were treated with Tamoxifen only. In 15 cases there was complete radiological remission and in seven cases partial remission or growth arrest. Five cases did not respond to treatment. Tamoxifen seemed to be a useful alternative treatment for this group of patients. Tumor mass and growth rate may possibly affect the response to anti-estrogen treatment.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
