Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Compared With Observation After Surgery in Treating Women With Estrogen Receptor Positive or Progesterone Receptor Positive Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast Who Are Receiving Tamoxifen or Anastrozole

Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy after surgery is effective in preventing a recurrence of ductal carcinoma in situ. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying adjuvant radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to observation after surgery in treating women with estrogen receptor positive or progesterone receptor positive ductal carcinoma in situ and are also receiving either tamoxifen or anastrozole.
