Tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal synthetic anti-oestrogen is the most widely used selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Designed as a contraceptive it is most frequently used in prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Its role in gynaecology is limited to ovulation induction. Although it has a favourable effect on lipid profiles and increases bone density in postmenopausal women its use for these indications is not warranted. The practising gynaecologist will most likely be faced with the risks associated with long-term tamoxifen use: endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer; venous thromboembolism, ovarian cysts and endometrioid ovarian cancers. Further insight into the oestrogen receptor (ER) tamoxifen induced changes could potentially identify new therapeutic opportunities.
