tamoxifen

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

tamoxifen

Oestrogen-blocking drug used to treat breast cancer and also infertility. It kills cancer cells by preventing formation of the tiny blood vessels that supply the tumour. Without a blood supply the tumour shrinks as its cells die. Side effects include hot flushes, skin rashes, vaginal discharge, and more rarely, endometrial cancer. Trials have shown that it may also prevent breast cancer in healthy women with a family history of the disease.
