When all patients were analysed, there was significant prolongation of relapse-free survival in patients with ER positive (RI = 44%; OR = 28%) and ER negative tumours (RI = 47%; OR = 37%) (Table II). There was a highly significant prolongation of relapse-free survival in patients with PR positive tumours (RI = 68%; OR= 41%; X2i= 7.8; P =0.005); the effect in patients with PR negative tumours just failed to reach significance, (RI = 68%; OR = 32% X21 = 3.4; P = 0.06), but the numbers in this group were smaller.
