Well, fear not. A new Game of Thrones family tree lays out the interconnected lineages of nearly everyone weâve met in Westeros. Itâs a pretty daunting task considering weâve met dozens in the show, and several dozens more in the A Song of Ice and Fire books.
Tamoxifen is a drug used to treat breast cancer in both pre-menopausal women (women who have not yet gone through the menopause) and post-menopausal women (women who have gone through the menopause). It can also be taken by men who have breast cancer. It is a type of hormone treatment, also known as endocrine therapy.
Tamoxifen is a drug that binds to your estrogen receptors. Therefore it was thought that it could prevent excess estrogen binding, hence halting cancer from forming. It is generally prescribed to high-risk women to prevent breast cancer, and is usually taken for five years. However, Tamoxifen has been found to cause cancer instead. According to a study published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, the treatment of breast cancer with tamoxifen results in an increased risk of uterine cancer incidence and mortality.
