OBJECTIVES: * Compare disease-free survival and overall survival of postmenopausal women with prior stage I or II breast cancer treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) vs nonhormonal alternatives to HRT. * Compare relief of menopausal symptoms and quality of life of patients treated with these regimens. * Compare cardiovascular and osteoporotic events in patients treated with these regimens. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center, age (\< 40 years vs ≥ 40 years), and years from diagnosis (≤ 2 vs \> 2 to \< 5 vs ≥ 5). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. * Arm I: Patients receive oral or transdermal HRT comprising estrogen with or without progesterone for at least 2 years. * Arm II: Patients are offered advice on nonhormonal HRT alternatives. Menopausal symptoms are assessed at baseline, at 3, 6, and 12 months, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually thereafter. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at 3, 6, and 12 months, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter. Patients are followed every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter. Peer Reviewed and Funded or Endorsed by Cancer Research UK PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 2,800-3,000 patients (1,400-1,500 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.
