    Summary
    In the BIG 1-98 clinical trial of 4922 postmenopausal women treated with 5 years of letrozole or tamoxifen for endocrine-responsive breast cancer, 183 had the rare histotypes mucinous or tubular/cribriform. These women had better outcomes than those with other histotypes. The magnitude of the letrozole advantage compared with tamoxifen may not be as large in patients with these rare histotypes
