Tamoxifen Useful in Preventing Breast Disease

This retrospective study of 13203 women found that tamoxifen reduced the incidence of benign breast disease by 28%. Comment: this is important because it prevented a large number of breast biopsies. This study also suggests that tamoxifen may be helpful in reducing the risk of breast cancer. [ Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 95, No. 4, 302-307, February 19, 2003 ]
