| Abstract | Fifty eight (58) patients with early breast cancer (mean age 78.3 years) and 37 patients with advanced breast cancer (mean age 65.9 years) were treated with tamoxifen orally 20 mg daily or twice daily. The mean follow-up time was 19.1 months in the early group and 18.4 months in the late group. The drug was extremely well tolerated. All patients had cytological or histological evidence of breast cancer. A complete or partial response was found in only 36% of the patients with early breast cancer and only 13% in the advanced group. We conclude that tamoxifen was disappointing as a primary therapy in our patients. Although because of its lack of toxicity it can be seen as initial therapy for patients with breast cancer, it may have to be supplanted rapidly by other forms of therapy in the substantial proportion of patients in whom a response will not occur. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
