Description

Tamoxifen and Breast Cancer by Michael W. DeGregorio and Valerie J. Wiebe is a comprehensive exploration of the widely prescribed drug tamoxifen, used to prevent breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women. The authors discuss the effectiveness of tamoxifen in treating patients with hormone-insensitive breast tumors or those who have not yet reached menopause, as well as its potential risks and limitations. They also examine the controversy surrounding a National Cancer Institute study on tamoxifen as a preventive measure for breast cancer, highlighting both the hopes and fears of its proponents. This book provides an invaluable resource for women facing decisions about treatment or prevention of breast cancer, offering a balanced and accessible discussion of diagnosis, treatment alternatives, and the risks and benefits associated with tamoxifen.
