| Message: | Tamoxifen is used to treat breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in men and women . It is used to treat early breast cancer in women who have already been treated with surgery , radiation , and chemotherapy . It is used to reduce the risk of developing a more serious type of breast cancer in women who have had ductal carcinoma in situ and who have been treated with surgery and radiation . It is used to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women who are at high risk for the disease due to their age , personal medical history , and family medical history .
Tamoxifen can be used in conjunction with other medications to form a treatment regime to regulate the growth of new blood vessels . The sole use of tamoxifen with its anti - angiogenic effects has been shown to reduce cancer in animals , independent of the estrogen receptor antagonist properties .
