NOTE. Tamoxifen + ovarian function suppression (OFS) is the reference group for all comparisons. A hazard ratio (HR) > 1 indicates improved outcome for tamoxifen + OFS (ie, higher risk for tamoxifen). Variables included in the adjusted models were age (≤ 40, 41-50, ≥ 51 years), tumor size (< 1, 1-2, > 2 cm), hormone receptor (progesterone receptor (PgR) positive or PgR negative/PgR unknown), and most extensive surgery (breast-sparing procedure or mastectomy). Race and menopausal status were not included because of lack of variability in the data (315 patients were white; 336 patients were premenopausal).

Abbreviations: DFS, disease-free survival; LHRH, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone; OS, overall survival.
