`stages of this disease.* The side effects generally are
`limited to symptoms of estrogen blockade. Neverthe-
`less, physicians should remainvigilantto their patients’
`concerns and provide optimal health care during ta-
`moxifen therapy.
`In this article, a treatmentstrategy is designed for
`the 1990s to maximize the use of antiestrogenic drugs to
`control breast cancer. Long-term adjuvant tamoxifen
`therapy, a concept successfully transferred from the lab-
`oratory to the clinic,> provides a survival benefit for
`postmenopausal patients with node-positive disease.®
`This encouraging clinical finding has increased the en-
`thusiasm to extend and broadenthe use of antiestrogen
`therapy. This article addresses some of the issues in-
`volved and considers the potential benefits of a broader
`application of tamoxifen therapy.
`
`Long-Term Adjuvant Tamoxifen Therapy
`
`During the past 3-4 years, it has becomeclearthat ta-
`moxifen, an antiestrogenic agent originally introduced
`as a palliative treatment for advanced breast cancer in
`postmenopausal women,’is effective adjuvant therapy
`in both node-positive and node-negative disease. The
`results of numerous clinical
`trials recently were re-
`viewed.® Therefore,it is only necessary in this report to
`considerthe strategic issues.
`Severalclinical trials showed the benefit of at least
`5 years of tamoxifen treatment;”"” however, there is
`currently a trend toward evaluating indefinite adjuvant
`tamoxifen therapy. There are two major concerns about
`this strategy. First, will the patient benefit from continu-
`ous therapy?It is hoped that an advantagewill be ob-
`served in the analysis of current clinicaltrials because
`the prospects for patient survival are not good after
`there is recurrence. Any strategy to suppress the process
`of recurrence would be a valuable advance. However,
`this raises a second issue: Is indefinite tamoxifen ther-
`apy safe?
`In 1977, a pilotclinical evaluation was begunof the
`safety and potential efficacy of long-term adjuvant ta-

`
`moxifen therapy, with initial adjuvant chemotherapy,
`in node-positive breast cancer.!*"* Not only hasthe pi-
`lot study providedinteresting therapeutic data, but also
`the findingsin the patients treated have proved to be an
`invaluable resource to monitor the acceptability and
`safety of
`tamoxifen. Many of these patients were
`younger than 40 years of age, and they maintained their
`menstrual cycles after adjuvant chemotherapy. Long-
`term adjuvant tamoxifen therapy caused an increase in
`circulating estrogenlevels.!°16 Currently, thereis no evi-
`dence that the observed increased estrogen levels will
`reverse the action of tamoxifen as an antitumor agent.
`However, itis knownthat tamoxifen is likely to be more
`effective in a low estrogen environment. Tamoxifen,
`andits metabolites, are competitive inhibitors of estro-
`gen action.!” Two strategies could be considered to re-
`duceestrogenlevels: ovariectomy(in node-positive dis-
`ease) or the administration of luteinizing hormone-re-
`leasing hormone (e.g., depot goserelin). The latter is
`known to inhibit ovarian estrogen synthesis (by sup-
`pressing luteinizing hormone release),'*? and this may
`be rational therapy for node-negative, estrogen recep-
`tor-positive women whoelect notto receive chemother-
`apy because they wish to have a family 5 or more years
`in the future. Clinicaltrials are ongoing to address both
`the safety and efficacy of tamoxifen—depot goserelin
`combinations.
`One natural concern about indefinite tamoxifen
`therapy was the probability that an antiestrogenic drug
`might cause serious boneloss. Ultimately, this would
`limit the use of the agent in women with either node-
`negative disease or those surviving long term. We
`found (in the laboratory) that tamoxifen has a target-
`site specificity, i.e., tamoxifen will produce an antiestro-
`
`genic effect in the uterus (with some estrogenic actions),
`but it has estrogenic effects in bone and prevents de.
`creases in density.*° Tamoxifen does not cause anysig.
`nificant decreases in bone density (compared with con.
`trol) in patients who have received at least a 2-yea;
`course of adjuvant tamoxifen.”! Similarly, long-term (5.
`year) adjuvant tamoxifen therapy appears to stabilize
`bone loss.””
`It is known that tamoxifen has a mixture of estro.
`genic and antiestrogenicactions,‘ andit is possible that
`the estrogenic actions could cause troublesomeside ef.
`fects. Estrogens are knownto predispose individuals ty
`thromboembolic disorders and endometrial carcinoma,
`Tamoxifen causes some decreases in antithrombin I]]
`during long-term adjuvanttherapy,” but the decreases
`are within the clinically acceptable range. However,
`women with a prior history of thromboembolic dis-
`order should not receive long-term tamoxifen therapy
`unless the risks are outweighed by the severity of the
`disease.
`aq
`Tamoxifen-induced endometrial carcinoma is
`much more complicated issue, and thefindings deserve
`to be placed into perspective. As might be expected,
`endometrial carcinoma has been detected in patients
`who are being treated for breast cancer with tamoxi-
`fen.** Unfortunately, only approximately 33% of endo-
`metrial carcinoma is hormone responsive;
`therefore,
`most tumors would be expected to progress. However,
`in one study,”it was foundthat a steroid receptor-posi-
`tive human endometrial tumoris stimulated to grow in
`athymic mice by either estradiol or tamoxifen. In fact,
`tamoxifen again showstarget site specificity. If animals
`are bitransplanted with a human breast tumor (MCF-7)
`and a human endometrial carcinoma (EnCa 101), ta-
`moxifen will inhibit estradiol-stimulated growth of the
`breast tumor but encourage the growth of the endome-
`trial tumor.*® These findings led to an examination of
`clinical-trial data to determine whether an increase in
`endometrial carcinoma occurs during adjuvant tamoxi-
`fen therapy for breast cancer. Currently, only one ran-
`domizedclinical trial found an increase in endometrial
`carcinoma. This Swedish study” of approximately
`1900 women, randomized to receive no or tamoxifen
`(20 mg twice a day) treatment, found an increase of 11
`endometrial carcinomasin the tamoxifen treatment arm
`compared with control. Whatis particularly interesting
`is the association of an increased risk for endometrial
`carcinoma with increased duration of tamoxifen ther-
`apy. Nevertheless,it is clear from all clinical results that
`no patient should be denied adjuvant tamoxifen ther-
`apy for breast cancer because she might have an occult
`endometrial carcinoma that is encouraged to grow by
`tamoxifen. Physicians should, however, remain vigi-
`lant to this possibility and immediately investigate any
`cases of suspicious bleeding.

`
`of tamoxifen therapy usually is associated with estro-
`gen receptor-negative clone emergence. However,
`based on experience with advanced disease, a signifi-
`cant proportion of disease will remain hormone re-
`sponsive. Second-line therapies, like progestins”® and
`aromatase inhibitors,”? can be effective in some pa-
`tients. The new antiestrogenic agent, toremifene,?°?
`might produce a subsequentresponse in somepatients
`in whom tamoxifen therapy fails after an initial re-
`sponse. Toremifene currently is being evaluated in
`Phase III trials against tamoxifen in postmenopausal
`patients with advanced disease. The next step will be to
`evaluate this antiestrogenic drug as adjuvant therapy.
`Several forms of drug resistance to antiestrogens
`have been described in the laboratory.* However, the
`observation that tamoxifen can encourage the growth
`of endometrial carcinoma in athymic mice naturally
`raised the question of whether a modelcould be devel-
`oped for tamoxifen-stimulated breast cancer growth.
`Long-term tamoxifen therapy eventually can cause
`the growth of MCF-7 breast
`tumors in athymic
`mice.**°* These tumors can be retransplanted but will
`grow only if tamoxifen treatment is maintained.*° It is
`possible that tamoxifen-stimulated growth has been
`described in the clinic.2° However, a withdrawalre-
`sponse may bedifficult to define because tamoxifen has
`a long half-life,?” and up to 6 weeksis required to elimi-
`nate all traces of the drug andits metabolites.
`In the laboratory model of tamoxifen-stimulated
`growth,estradiol also stimulated tumor growth.” This
`suggests that cessation of tamoxifen therapy will not be
`sufficient clinically becausethe patient's circulating es-
`trogen ultimately may support tumor growth. Forthis
`reason, significant numbers of patients may respond to
`second endocrine treatmentafter the failure of success-
`ful tamoxifen treatment. The tumor has a withdrawal
`response to tamoxifen, and the existing estrogen recep-
`tor system cannotbeactivated. This is achieved by ei-
`ther limiting the amount of endogenousestrogen (aro-
`matase inhibitors) or perturbing the regulation of the
`estrogenreceptor system (progestins). An alternate ther-
`apeutic strategy would be to develop antiestrogenic
`drugs that do not have the estrogen-like properties of
`tamoxifen.
`
`Pure Antiestrogens
`
`Several pharmaceutical companies are attemptingto de-
`velop a pure antiestrogenic agent
`for clinical use.
`Currently, there is only information available about the
`
`ties?) has been established.
`Thesteroidal compound,ICI 164,384 (Fig. 1),5® has
`been evaluated by numerous investigators!”***° and
`foundto be an effective pure antiestrogen. However,its
`systemic potency is low, and thereis significant loss of
`potency if the compoundis given to animals orally. ICI
`164,384 probably will not be usedclinically, but nonste-
`roidal agents with a higher potency could be targeted
`for development. An orally active agent should be an
`essential componentof any strategy to introduce a new
`antiestrogen. Oral tamoxifen is so well tolerated that
`patients would be reluctant to consider injections or
`sustained-release implants as analternative.
`Howcould a pure antiestrogenic drug be usedtoits
`best advantagein the clinic? The finding that pure an-
`tiestrogens can inhibit tamoxifen-stimulated growth in
`laboratory models™identifies their use as second-line
`therapy in advanced disease or at first recurrence in
`patients with node-positive or node-negative breast
`cancer who do not respond to long-term adjuvantta-
`moxifen therapy.
`It
`is likely that, early in the evolution of breast
`cancer, the diseaseis significantly more hormonally re-
`sponsive thanlater. Early treatment of node-negative
`disease with an antiestrogen could provide an advan-
`tage for patients. However, this might not be true if
`therapy with a pure antiestrogenic drug is used early.
`One advantage of long-term adjuvant tamoxifen ther-
`apy is that the drug appears to have an appropriate
`level of estrogenic side effects.* Its estrogenicity might
`be beneficial to bone” and is responsible for lowering
`circulating cholesterol.*? This might be important for
`most postmenopausal women with node-negative dis-
`ease whoare denied hormone replacement therapy be-
`cause only a minority will have a recurrence. A pure
`antiestrogenic drug might produce deleterious effects
`on the physiologic actions of estrogen in such patients
`that might preclude early evaluation in these women.
`By contrast, it might be advisable to evaluate adjuvant
`therapy in womenwith extensive nodal metastases. Ul-
`timately, tamoxifen therapy followed by pure anties-
`trogen therapy at recurrence might be more acceptable
`to patientsif orally active pure antiestrogenic drugsare
`not available.
`It is likely that the next decadewill see the evalua-
`tion of several new agents that should provideclini-
`cians with other valuable antiestrogenic agents with
`different properties. Nevertheless,
`the success of ta-
`moxifen, and its balance of estrogenic and antiestro-
`genic actions, has encouraged a consideration ofits
`widerclinical application to prevent breast cancer,

`
`Prevention of Breast Cancer
`
`Oneof the current goals of laboratory andclinical re-
`search is to devise a strategy to prevent the develop-
`ment of breast cancer. An effective plan ultimately
`could prevent more than 40,000 deaths annually. A suc-
`cessful strategy would intervene in those womenin
`whomthe disease could develop. Such an intervention
`must havesignificantly less risk to the patient than
`death from breast cancer and preferably be given pre-
`cisely and for a short period. Regrettably, we cannot
`identity unequivocally the population of women in
`whom breast cancer will develop. Therefore, there is
`the immediate problem of whoto treat. Although we
`know that women who have two or morefirst-degree
`relatives with breast cancerare at increased risk for the
`disease, these womenare in a minority (10%) of those
`whosubsequently have the disease. Most women have
`breast cancer for apparently arbitrary reasons. Because
`we do not know who will have breast cancer and can
`only identify women with anincreasedrisk(e.g., nullip-
`arous women, women bearing a child after age 30
`years, and women who have multiple breast biopsies
`for suspicious lesions), the application of an interven-
`tion to prevent the disease must havenegligiblerisk for
`the vast majority of women whowill never havebreast
`cancer. To prevent the disease, the timing of disease
`initiation should be known. However, we do not know
`either the timing or the nature ofthe carcinogenic insult
`in women. Therefore, currently, precise intervention
`therapy to prevent breast cancer seemsunlikely,
`Anovarian influencein the control of breast cancer
`growth has been knownsincetheturn of the century.”
`In the laboratory, ovariectomy prevents the develop-
`ment of mammary cancer in high-incidencestrains of
`mice*? and mammary carcinogenesis in rats.** In both
`models, mammary carcinogenesis is initiated in young
`pubescent females, but all animals will have tumors
`unless prophylactic ovariectomy is done. It would be
`clearly unacceptable to do indiscriminate oophorecto-
`mies on teen-age girls to avoid the possibility of breast
`cancer! Nevertheless,
`there is epidemiologic data to
`supportthe view that early oophorectomy dramatically
`reduces the incidence of breast cancer.*® Recently, one
`study*® suggested the extensive use ofluteinizing hor-
`mone-releasing hormone agonists as contraceptives,
`This reversible approach to ovarian suppression would
`reduce, not only the incidenceof breast cancer, but also
`that of ovarian and endometrial carcinoma. This inno-
`vative suggestion has merit although there is currently
`little public enthusiasm to sponsor research in repro-
`ductive endocrinology.
`An alternative approach would be to administer
`antiestrogenic drugs to block estrogen action. Tamoxi-
`fen reduces the incidence of second primary breast
`
`cancers that develop during adjuvant tamoxifen ther-
`apy’°*” and prevents mammary tumorigenesis in an
`mal models.*”* The strategy to use tamoxifen to Pre
`vent breast cancer hasa strong scientific rationale for
`further evaluation. However, such a strategy will suc
`ceed onlyif there is a low incidence ofiatrogenic dis
`orders in the women whowill never have breast cance"
`Theside effects that occur with tamoxifen recently wer®
`reviewed.” Therefore, only the major concerns will be
`mentionedin this report. The administration of tamow”
`fen to young women(asyet unidentified) of reproduc:
`tive age might be unacceptable becauseof(1) the par
`menopausal symptoms, (2) the risks for teratogenes>
`and (3) the unknowneffects of long-term ovarian hy-
`perstimulation,i.e., ovarian carcinomain the postmen?”
`pausalyears.
`:
`Analternative strategy would beto study the aa
`ity of tamoxifen to prevent the appearance of —
`cancer in postmenopausal women. However, on a
`cess ofinitiation and promotionof breast cancer almoe
`certainly will have occurred before this age, and tani
`ifen will suppress the growth of malignantcells. hers

`is the declining compliance (80%at 2 years) that =

`
`therapytrials indicates that the survival advantage of
`tamoxifen persists for one decade; therefore, interven-
`tion in normal women mayblunt the appearance of
`primary disease significantly.
`Trials to establish the value of tamoxifen as a pre-
`ventative in womenare being started by the National
`CancerInstitute. We hope an evaluation of the results
`of tamoxifen therapy by the. end of the century will
`provide the medical community with valuable informa-
`tion for clinical practice. In the meantime, is there any
`contribution that can be made nowto reduce the death
`rate from breast cancer? There are hundreds of thou-
`sands of womenatrisk for dying of breast cancer who
`currently receive no therapy. Thisis a forgotten patient
`population that hasreceived either no adjuvant therapy
`for node-negative disease or has had adjuvant chemo-
`therapy for premenopausal node-positive disease butis
`now postmenopausal. Delayed tamoxifen treatment as
`maintenance therapy could benefit those who havees-
`trogen-receptor positive disease because this drug
`usually would be prescribed if there was a recurrence.
`Tamoxifen is essentially safe therapy. Why not delay
`recurrence by prescribing tamoxifen now? Another ad-
`vantageto this strategy is that women with a history of
`breast cancer are at the highest risk for a second pri-
`mary tumor. This drug could be effective therapy to
`preventthe developmentof these tumors. The potential
`value of tamoxifen as hormone-replacementtherapy to
`support bone density and reduce the risk of coronary
`heart disease may be an added advantage. We might
`take the position that a clinical trial would be the best
`approach to determine the valuein lives saved. How-
`ever, most women during the next decadewill receive
`adjuvant tamoxifen immediately after mastectomy. The
`women whoare currently at risk for either a second
`primary breast cancer or a recurrence of their initial
`disease will confront the rigors of chemotherapy for
`advanced disease. Basedonall clinical information, the
`medical community is already in a position to choose a
`therapy of benefit to treat appropriate patients.
`
`Concluding Remarks
`
`The unexpected success of tamoxifen as adjuvant ther-
`apy hasled to the use of extended treatment regimens
`andinterest in the development ofantiestrogenic drugs
`with different pharmacologic properties. The pure an-
`tiestrogens may be useful second-line therapyafter ta-
`moxifen failure. However, most of the current interest
`in antiestrogenic agentsis in their use as a preventative
`for women with a high risk for breast cancer. Although
`the situation is not optimal (we do not know who to
`treat), tamoxifen currently is the ‘best bet’ as an agent
`to preventthis disease. Thereis little doubtit is effec-
`tive, and it has been examined extensively byclinicians.
`
`However, the absolute benefit to womenisstill a cause
`for concern. Treating large populations to benefit only a
`few personsis not standard practice, and there are no
`parallels that can be drawn with earlier clinical re-
`search.
`The advantages of tamoxifen are that it has few
`side effects and is effective. The drug will be evaluated
`rigorously during this decade and may provide the
`physician with a useful preventative intervention. How-
`ever, the issue of whoto treat should be pursuedrigor-
`ously. The last decade has seen an explosion of knowl-
`edge that may provide many newcluesto identifying
`high-risk women. If laboratory research can categorize
`womenat risk, then the physician will be able to pre-
`scribe a drug that has been evaluated properly in the
`clinic. Too often the laboratory scientist is able to pre-
`dict genetic disorders when nothing can be donefor the
`patient. This will not occur with breast cancer because
`parallel research ventures in the laboratory andclinic
`are destined to converge in the near future.
