Tamoxifen is listed as a carcinogen and as toxic. Usually the risk has to be justified to prescribe it. Also it seems that taking itfor more than 5 years, may have the opposite effect. It isn't something you want to take unnessessarily.

Nav, i have heard a whisper that tamoxifen might even be responsible for fueling tumors, + or - im not sure. Could just be typical hype, but to be honest, i wouldnt take it and i was ER PR +, it made my life hell.

Triple negative and tamoxifin

Postby yowyow » Mon Apr 09, 2007 1:22 pm

Have recently seen a few hints with onc's towards triple neg's taking tamoxifin as it
can reduce the risk of new tumors.


Have been googling and cant find any new reports.

I understand there is no benefit taking this to reduce the chance of reoccurance or mets with Triple Neg bc
Do you think this is preventative overkill or would be be more prone to get new primaries with hormone +
as we have already had BC.
