The chemotherapy side of the ABC Trial tested the addition of chemotherapy to prolonged tamoxifen (with or without elective ovarian ablation or suppression), and the ovarian ablation or suppression side of the trial assessed the addition of ovarian ablation or suppression to prolonged tamoxifen (with or without elective chemotherapy). From the very beginning, Prof. Yarnold sought collaboration with many countries, and received a positive response from Iran through the efforts of Prof. Kamaleddin Dehshiri and Prof. Jahangir Rafat (Cancer Institute, Tehran University of Medical Sciences) and also Professor Seyed-Hossein Mortazavi, (Jorjani Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences).
