9781891483004Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Tamoxifen is a medication primarily used to treat breast cancer. It works by blocking the effects of estrogen in the body, which can help slow or stop the growth of certain types of cancer cells. Because of its medical importance, tamoxifen is widely prescribed and has saved many lives. However, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified tamoxifen as Group 1, meaning it is "carcinogenic to humans." This classification is based on strong evidence that tamoxifen can increase the risk of developing other cancers, such as uterine cancer, especially with long-term use. This does not mean tamoxifen is dangerous for everyone—its benefits in treating breast cancer often outweigh the risks, and it is used under careful medical supervision. The regulation highlights the need for doctors to monitor patients closely. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
