Estrogen-like action of tamoxifen on vaginal epithelium in breast cancer patients
Oncology.
1981.
Abstract
The action of prolonged administration of Tamoxifen on the vaginal epithelium in postmenopausal breast cancer patients has been investigated by means of exfoliative cytology. Our study gives quite convincing evidence of a clear-cut estrogenic effect of Tamoxifen on vaginal epithelium. The relationship between estrogenic properties of Tamoxifen and breast cancer management is discussed.
