Tamoxifen - Adjuvant Hormone Therapy for Breast Cancer

Tamoxifen is an estrogen suppressor, which helps lower your risk of breast cancer recurrence and improves your chances of survival. If you have been diagnosed with estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, tamoxifen may be used as part of your follow-up treatment. Weighing the risks and benefits of taking tamoxifen may seem tricky, but most doctors agree that the benefits are much greater than the risks.
