This is evidence that low doses of topical tamoxifen can decrease bc without the systemic effects side effects, ig. blood clots, uterine cancer, of oral tamoxifen. Wonder why topical tamoxifen is not advocated more as a bc preventive, especially for those not using oral Tamoxifen to reduce systemic estrogen positive bc reoccurence? Anyone using it?
