Tamoxifen warning

[donocco]

Europa

I doubled checked my pharmacy material. The SERM Raloxifine (Evista) does not act as an estrogen on the uterus and cant induce cancers like Tamoxifen can.

Evista is FDA approved to PREVENT secondary breast cancers
like Tamoxifen, yet the literature states it shouldnt be used to treat breast cancer. This makes little sense to me. Talk with your oncologist about this. Maybe he (she) can tell you why Evista has been approved to prevent secondary breast cancers (like Tamoxifen) but has no anti-cancer action against already established cancers. This does not add up logically.
