Dr. John Link, author of "The Breast Cancer Survival Manual," talks about the pros and cons of Tamoxifen, a hormone medication that reduces the risk of breast cancer.

Tamoxifen was developed in the 1970s. It was traditionally prescribed for five years and decreased recurrence in lungs, bones, and liver by 30 percent. Sadly, doctors discovered that Tamoxifen caused uterine cancer in some women who took it for more than five years. Scientists in Europe who continued testing Tamoxifen for up to ten years found that it decreased over deaths from breast cancer by about four percent. It wasn’t the enormous breakthrough doctors were hoping for, but it was big enough that patients should talk to their doctors about it, to determine if it might be helpful in preventing another cancer diagnosis.
