Tamoxifen not to be used as a preventative
Canadian researchers found that giving Tamoxifen to healthy women
to ward off breast cancer gave them a fourfold risk of developing
womb cancer and double the risk of deep vein thrombosis. The researchers
recommended that, unless a woman’s predicted risk of breast
cancer was three times greater than average, the risks associated
with Tamoxifen outweighed any benefits.
