I remember researching Evista many years ago. Im sure you realize Tamoxifen is being used for breast cancer prevention. Im going now by memory but as far as I know Evista = Tamoxifen minus one action. Evista doesnt increase the risk of uterine cancer like Tamoxifen does. If Tamoxifen prevents breast cancer, Evista SHOULD and with less risk.
This is theoretical Im not aware of clinical studies with Evista as a preventitive.
