Toremifene vs. Tamoxifen: A Camel's Choice in the Desert of Breast Cancer Treatment

Toremifene and tamoxifen are both selective estrogen receptor modulators used to treat breast cancer. This meta-analysis, like a camel navigating the vast and often challenging desert of breast cancer treatment, compared the efficacy and safety of these two drugs.

The researchers analyzed data from 23 randomized controlled trials involving 7242 patients. They compared the effects of toremifene and tamoxifen on survival rates, adverse events, and various physiological parameters. The findings suggest that toremifene may be an alternative option to tamoxifen for both early and advanced breast cancer patients.
