Abstract
Eight postmenopausal women undergoing adjuvant treatment with tamoxifen (20 mg/day) for breast cancer had baseline pretreatment, and 6- and 12-month post-treatment dual-photon determinations of vertebral bone mineral content (BMC). BMC measured at 6 and 12 months increased over baseline in all subjects. These observations imply that women treated with tamoxifen may retain rather than surrender the protective effect of estrogen against osteoporosis.Entities:
