What is Tamoxifen?

Tamoxifen (Nolvadex® or Soltamox®) is a drug that treats hormone receptor-positive (hormone-positive) breast cancer. It may also help prevent breast cancer. Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tamoxifen in 1998, it has become one of the most widely used breast cancer treatments.

How does tamoxifen work?

Tamoxifen is a type of hormonal therapy known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). The drug attaches to hormone receptors (specific proteins) in breast cancer cells. Once the medication is inside the cells, it stops the cancer from accessing the hormones they need to multiply and grow.

Who should use tamoxifen?

Tamoxifen can help women and men with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The drug can lower the risk of breast cancer in:

1. Women who are high-risk of breast cancer due to a family history of disease or mutated (changed) breast cancer (BRCA) genes.

2. Women and men who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer to prevent recurrence (return) of cancer, including:

  (1) Development of breast cancer in the opposite, untreated breast.

  (2) Recurrence of breast cancer following suirery,chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Your doctor will determine if tamoxifen is right for you.
