Abstract
Tamoxifen, which is used widely to treat, and increasingly to prevent, breast cancer, has been associated with increased risk of stroke. We assessed the impact of tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer on the risk of stroke, considering dose, duration, and recency of use of tamoxifen and known stroke risk factors.
