In 1994, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) initiated for the Breast Intergroup a randomized clinical trial (E3193) in premenopausal patients with early-stage breast carcinoma (lymph node-negative and receptor-positive, with tumors measuring < or = 3 cm) comparing tamoxifen as adjuvant systemic therapy with tamoxifen and ovarian ablation by one of three different methods. Ovarian ablation could be accomplished either via radiotherapy (RT) (20 Gray [Gy]/10 fractions to a modified pelvic volume), surgical oophorectomy, or goserelin/leuprolide injections as per patient/physician choice. In the current study, we report the efficacy of pelvic RT with this dose-fractionation scheme in the induction of ovarian ablation.
