i think to give or not tamoxifen depends upon estrogen receptor ststus
if premenopausal +er pr + give chemo and tamoxife
if premenopausal but erpr_ give chemoand tamoxifen
ifpostmenopausal er pr + gi ve chemo and tamoxifen
if ostmenopausal buter pr_ give chemo only
and combination chemo is better thgent

reemember tamoxifen is an antiestrogen. however its efficacy will obviously be less in the period when endogenous estrogen levels are high.
thus postmenopausal--> tamoxifen, chemo if required ( forgot when)
premenopausal--> chemo first, add tamoxifn if er/pr positive
