  • Title: [Adjuvant therapy of breast cancer with tamoxifen and endometrial carcinoma].
    Author: Mignotte H, Sasco AJ, Lasset C, Saez S, Rivoire M, Bobin JY.
    Journal: Bull Cancer; 1992; 79(10):969-77. PubMed ID: 1292764.
    Abstract:
    Twenty cases of endometrial carcinoma are reported, observed in women who had received long term tamoxifen treatment as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. Furthermore, a specific study was carried out on an homogeneous group of 790 women with an operable breast cancer, 318 receiving tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment. Five endometrium carcinoma were observed in the group under tamoxifen versus none in the other group. From an analysis of these cases, authors will carry out a case control study to evaluate the relative risk of endometrial carcinoma for patients under tamoxifen. They underline the importance of gynecologic follow up procedures for all women receiving this endocrine therapy.
