Abstract
DNA measurements and histopathological evaluation were performed in 17 patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen in early breast cancer and w ho developed endometrial carcinoma during or after tamoxifen therapy. The tumours were exclusively characterised by low grade malignancy and euploid DNA pattern except for two cases. The hazards of giving long- term tamoxifen thus seem to be low.
