    GlossaryTamoxifen

    medication used to treat and prevent breast cancer

    Tamoxifen, also known by brand names like Nolvadex and Soltamox, is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent breast cancer. It works by binding to estrogen receptors, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, which can slow or stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
