There is a new report from HHS' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality suggesting that three drugs (tamoxifen, raloxifene, and tibolone) used to treat breast cancer significantly reduce invasive breast cancer in midlife and older women, but also increase the risk of adverse side effects.

The report found that tamoxifen increases risk for endometrial cancer, hysterectomies, and cataracts compared with the other drugs. Tamoxifen and raloxifene increase risk of blood clots, although tamoxifen's risk is greater. Tibolone carries an increased risk of stroke.

You can read more about this report at LINK DELETED BY ADMIN PER FORUM POSTING RULES. PLEASE REVIEW IN THE TOP SECTION OF MAIN PAGE. THANK YOU
