Brief Summary: RATIONALE Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells Hormone therapy using exemestane or tamoxifen may fight cancer by blocking the uptake of estrogen

PURPOSE Randomized phase IIIII trial to compare the effectiveness of exemestane with that of tamoxifen in treating postmenopausal women who have locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the efficacy of exemestane vs tamoxifen in terms of progression-free survival in postmenopausal women with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer
Determine the safety profile of exemestane in these patients
Compare the overall survival of these patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Phase II of this study closed as of 61400 Patients are stratified by participating center prior adjuvant tamoxifen yes vs no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease yes vs no and dominant site of metastasis visceral with or without others vs bone only vs bone and soft tissue vs soft tissue only

Patients are randomized to receive either oral exemestane or oral tamoxifen daily Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed every 3 months for 18 months and then at least every 6 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 342 patients will be accrued for this study within 47 years
