Thank you, Rich, for locating this research synopsis. E.A. Perlata at Southern Illinois School of Medicine was also involved in the 2006 study done with mice. I am glad to see he and his cohorts follow up with this 2009 study using brave women willing to undergo the unpleasantness of core biopsy to test his earlier hypothesis. I suspect there may be a call for more exhaustive tests to be preformed, but I have seen enough now to disregard my nurse's recommendation and I will not be taking the vitamin E while I am still on Tamoxifen.
Thanks again--
