Study Summary

Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells This phase IIb trial studies how well low-dose tamoxifen citrate works in reducing breast cancer risk in radiation-induced cancer survivors.

Primary Outcome

Mammographic density was quantified as percentage of fibroglandular tissue. Using an intention-to-treat analysis, mammographic breast density (MBD) was compared between patients in the low dose tamoxifen intervention and placebo group by applying the linear mixed effects model for normally distributed data.
