Venous thrombosis as a side effect of tamoxifen treatment

A Lipton et al. Cancer Treat Rep. 1984 Jun.

Abstract

We report what we believe to be an infrequent but noteworthy complication of antiestrogen therapy with tamoxifen. Seven patients developed venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of starting treatment. Guidelines similar to those employed in younger women treated with anovulatory drugs would appear indicated.
