Here's maybe a dumb question; does Tamoxifen work differently for POST-menopausal women?

Also, I've been pondering why hormonal positive tumors are MORE common in post-menopausal women. Has there been any determination on why that would be?

Is there any statistical trends different for er+ in menopausal women than post?
