SHORTened duration of TAMoxifen for risk reduction in breast intraepithelial neoplasms in post-menopausal women.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a shortened, low-dose chemoprevention regimen (tamoxifen 10 mg every other day for 18 months) in reducing the risk of developing invasive breast cancer or ipsilateral/contralateral breast recurrence in patients diagnosed with breast intraepithelial neoplasia (DCIS, ADH, ALH, LCIS) or those with an elevated 5-year Gail model risk (> 1.66%). This objective aims to determine whether further shortening the duration of low-dose therapy can maintain the meaningful risk reduction observed in prior trials (such as TAM-01) while minimizing treatment burden and toxicities.
