Description

Introduction to Tamoxifen

Tamoxifen is a medication prescribed for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer, specifically targeting estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancer. Its action mechanism involves inhibiting or reducing the effect of estrogen, which is essential for the growth of ER-positive breast cancer cells. In this section, we will explore the nature of tamoxifen and its importance in cancer treatment.

What is Tamoxifen?

Tamoxifen belongs to a group of medicines known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). These drugs attach to estrogen receptors in cells, effectively blocking the hormone’s effects. By doing so, they help inhibit the growth and spread of ER-positive breast cancers throughout the body.
