Abstrakt: Tamoxifen is known to raise the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. There is virtually limited literature on how to handle Tamoxifen-induced endometrial hyperplasia (EH) in a breast cancer survivor. Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has been explored as preventive strategies, but its impact on breast cancer recurrence especially in Progesterone receptor (PR)-positive patient is not clear. Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) have shown beneficial results in EH after tamoxifen and their role should be explored in further trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
