Tamoxifen therapy improves overall survival in luminal A subtype of ductal carcinoma in situ: a study based on nationwide Korean Breast Cancer Registry database

Purpose To determine the prognostic role of tamoxifen therapy for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) according to molecular subtypes. Methods Data of 14,944 patients with DCIS were analyzed. Molecular subtypes were classified into four categories based on expression of estrogen receptor (...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose To determine the prognostic role of tamoxifen therapy for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) according to molecular subtypes. Methods Data of 14,944 patients with DCIS were analyzed. Molecular subtypes were classified into four categories based on expression of estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Kaplan–Meier estimator was used for overall survival analysis while Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Luminal A subtype (ER/PR+, HER2−) showed higher ( P  = .009) survival rate than triple-negative (TN) subtype. Tamoxifen therapy group showed superior ( P
