Tamoxifen Compared With LY353381 in Treating Women With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer

Summary

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen or LY353381 may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying how well tamoxifen works on the biomarkers of the tumor tissue, compared with LY353381, in treating women with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
