Are you at high risk for Breast Cancer?

Defining people at risk for cancer will become more refined and defined in days to come. To know the risk for breast cancer there are multiple tools. Once we know we are at high risk, what to do? Those who are at high risk for breast cancer are now officially being recommended tamoxifen. Most newspapers have covered this news of NICE's recommendation-Guardian, BBC, Telegraph.  As our attention span is getting shorter and shorter, let me highlight the safety and precaution. Nice is recommending that pre-menopausal women at high risk should be offered tamoxifen unless they have a history of thromboembolic disease or endometrial cancer,

So if you have thromboembolic disease or endometrial cancer, or history of same, or at risk for these, please ask question to your doctor before you take tamoxifen.
