Preview- One can notice, until it`s determined which drug is best for you, the safest bet is to stick with food-based estrogen blockers that have stood the test of time, unless you are at very high risk for breast (i.e., mamma, or teat) cancer. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk (i.e., strip, or lac) to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare. Breast, glandular (i.e., glandulous) organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland).
- It`s obvious that, tamoxifen, a drug, was the estrogen blocker drug of choice for years for post-menopausal women who have breast cancer that is estrogen-dependent for growth. Tamoxifen is a drug used to treat certain types of breast cancer in women and men. It is also used to prevent breast cancer in women who have had ductal carcinoma in situ (abnormal cells in the ducts of the breast) and in women who are at a high risk of developing breast cancer. Tamoxifen is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. It blocks the effects of the hormone estrogen in the breast. Tamoxifen is a type of antiestrogen (i.e., estrogen antagonist). Also called tamoxifen citrate.
- It could seem to be apparant that, estrogen blockers are most often used to treat breast cancer or to counteract the estrogenic effects of bodybuilding steroids.
