What treatment would normally be given to someone who is eligible for the trial but does not participate in the trial?
All patients with breast cancer require surgery, or surgery plus radiation therapy. Patients with estrogen-receptor-positive and/or progesterone-receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer receive hormonal therapy for a period of at least five years. There are several types of hormonal therapy, but the treatment usually consists of pills taken once or twice daily. Patients participating in this trial meet standard clinical criteria for administering chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy, which would generally be considered part of standard treatment.
