Mot du rédacteur en chef

     Cover:
The good news that tamoxifen prophylaxis dramatically reduced breast cancer incidence among high-risk women has brought the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial to an early close. Richard Margolese and Vivek Goel respond to the bad news on pages 1613 and 1615.

Couverture :
La prophylaxie au tamoxifène réduit phénoménalement l'incidence de cancer du sein chez les femmes à risque élevé. Cette bonne nouvelle a suscité l'interruption prématurée de l'étude sur la prévention du cancer du sein. Pour ce qui est des mauvaises nouvelles, Richard Margolese et Vivek Goel y réagissent aux pages 1613 et 1615.
