title: [Results of tamoxifen treatment in patients with advanced breast cancer].
abstract: The results of advanced breast cancer therapy with tamoxifen have been evaluated. The objective response to the drug has been achieved in 32 (31.7%) patients, and a 2-year survival in 52% of cases. A correlation between the localization of lesions and response rate has been found. The best results have been achieved in localized lesions and lymph nodes metastases. Low toxicity of the drug enables achievement of results comparable to those seen in all types of the hormonal therapy, except androgens.
