Tamoxifen is a nonsteroidal antiestrogen, indicated for the treatment of advanced disease in postmenopausal women and palliative treatment of premenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER) positive disease. It acts by inhibiting estrogen binding to its receptor, essential for its activity in breast cancer cells. It also leads to an increase in sex hormone binding globulin and decrease in insulin like growth factor 1 and tumor growth α. These changes reduce factors that stimulate tumor growth and induce apoptosis in estrogen receptor positive cells.
