Tamoxifen in advanced prostate cancer: An ECOG pilot study

Abstract

A group of 19 patients with advanced (Stage D) prostate cancer were treated with one of three dose levels of the anti-estrogen tamoxifen, 10 mg (3 patients), 20 mg (8 patients), or 30 mg (8 patients) daily. Five patients had received no prior systemic therapy. The treatment was tolerated well, but no objective responses occurred.
