  • Title: [Effects of SERM on breast cancer and cardiovascular disease: making a comparison between raloxifene use and hormone replacement therapy on the risks of the diseases].
    Author: Higuchi T, Mizunuma H.
    Journal: Clin Calcium; 2004 Oct; 14(10):81-4. PubMed ID: 15577136.
    Abstract:
    According to the report of MORE trial, raloxifene (RLX) compensate for the faults of hormone replacement therapy with the reasons following below; 1) RLX inhibits onset of breast cancer with estrogen receptor remarkably, 2) RLX inhibits onset of cardiovascular disease in its high risk group. However, because RLX has a elevated risk of venous thrombosis as same as hormone replacement therapy, we should give attention to this disease at the use of RLX.
