Effects of about 5 years of tamoxifen on the 15-year probabilities of recurrence and of breast cancer mortality, for ER-positive disease
Outcome by allocated treatment in trials of about 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen. Event rate ratio (RR) is from summed log-rank statistics for all time periods. Gain (and its SE) is absolute difference between ends of graphs. ER=oestrogen receptor. O–E=observed minus expected, with variance V.
