title: [SERM--selective estrogen receptor modulators].
abstract: SERM describes a category of drugs that exert their influence on estrogen-sensitive tissue and are known especially in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The development and clinical trials of new SERM in recent years seem to establish more fields of diseases, where treatment with SERM may be indicated.
