Re: Tamoxifen - 8-10 years?

thanks so much for your reply Tricia
that's my feeling as well - I actually found a SABCS abstract from the 2018 symposium titled "Incidence of late relapse in Her2+ BC patients receiving adjuvant trastuzumab" the conclusion was
"even without extended adjuvant endocrine therapy in both trials, risk of late relapse in HR+ Her2+ BC appeared to be low, particularly in patients with N0/N1 disease. The benefit of extended adjuvant endocrine therapy in this group of patients, particularly those with no lymph node involvement, may not outweigh the SE of continuing therapy beyond 5 years"
