Radiation therapy and tamoxifen after breast-conserving surgery: Updated results of a 2×2 randomised clinical trial in patients with low risk of recurrence

The paper is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Alfred Schauer (Göttingen) on the occasion of his 80th birthday. He has been one of the driving forces for this and for previous studies of the German Breast Cancer Study Group (GBSG) that have led to the introduction of breast-conserving therapy in Germany. He contributed his internationally recognised expertise in the central histopathological assessment of breast tumours.
