Abstract
In recent years, important results have been obtained with tamoxifen (TAM) in the treatment of relapsing mammary carcinoma (Henningsen and Amberger, 1977; Hanni et al., 1976). This compound appears to be particularly effective when hormone-sensitive tumours can be selected by hormone receptor determination (Terenius, 1974) and when the therapy is reserved for postmenopausal patients, although isolated positive results have also been reported in menstruating women (Manni et al., 1976).
