Tamoxifen Citrate Nolvadex Powder Anti Estrogen Steroids For Breast Cancer

Tamoxifen is currently used for the treatment of both early and advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive or ER+) breast cancer in pre- and post-menopausal women.[11] Additionally, it is the most common hormone treatment for male breast cancer.[12] It is also approved by the FDA for the prevention of breast cancer in women at high risk of developing the disease.[13] It has been further approved for the reduction of contralateral (in the opposite breast) cancer. The use of tamoxifen is recommended for 10 years.[14]

In 2006, the large STAR clinical study concluded that raloxifene is equally effective in reducing the incidence of breast cancer, but after an average 4-year follow-up, although the difference was not statistically significant, there were 36% fewer uterine cancers and 29% fewer blood clots in women taking raloxifene than in women taking tamoxifen
