Effects of tamoxifen on normal breast tissue histological composition: Results from a randomised six-arm placebo-controlled trial in healthy women

Marike Gabrielson et al.

Summary: This study found that different doses of tamoxifen can reduce the recurrence of breast cancer and have an influence on the breast tissue composition and histological markers. High-dose tamoxifen decreased the epithelial area in postmenopausal women without measurable density decrease.

Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial of Low-Dose Tamoxifen to Prevent Recurrence in Breast Noninvasive Neoplasia: A 10-Year Follow-Up of TAM-01 Study

Matteo Lazzeroni et al.

Summary: This study suggests that low-dose tamoxifen significantly reduces the risk of recurrence in women with intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) without additional adverse events. Even 7 years after treatment cessation, low-dose tamoxifen still effectively prevents recurrence from noninvasive breast cancer.

Systematic review of real-world studies evaluating the impact of medication non-adherence to endocrine therapies on hard clinical endpoints in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer

Andras Inotai et al.

Summary: Non-adherence to endocrine therapies for breast cancer has negative impacts, increasing the risks of metastasis and recurrence while lowering survival and disease-free survival rates. Regular monitoring of medication adherence is necessary, and including adherence-enhancing interventions in health policies is essential to improve medication adherence at a system level.

The impact of medication side effects on adherence and persistence to hormone therapy in breast cancer survivors: A qualitative systematic review and thematic synthesis

Nicola Peddie et al.

Summary: Research indicates that the side effects experienced by breast cancer survivors undergoing hormone therapy significantly impact their quality of life. Lack of support from healthcare providers often leads survivors to employ self-management strategies, resulting in non-adherence and non-persistence behaviors.

Low-Dose Tamoxifen for Mammographic Density Reduction: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Mikael Eriksson et al.

Summary: Pre-menopausal women showed noninferior reduction in breast density with 2.5 mg of tamoxifen, and experienced fewer side effects compared to the standard dose of 20 mg.Future studies are needed to investigate whether 2.5 mg of tamoxifen can reduce the risk of primary breast cancer.
