[Effects of SERM on breast cancer and cardiovascular disease: making a comparison between raloxifene use and hormone replacement therapy on the risks of the diseases].
According to the report of MORE trial, raloxifene (RLX) compensate for the faults of hormone replacement therapy with the reasons following below; 1) RLX inhibits onset of breast cancer with estrogen receptor remarkably, 2) RLX inhibits onset of cardiovascular disease in its high risk group. However, because RLX has a elevated risk of venous thrombosis as same as hormone replacement therapy, we should give attention to this disease at the use of RLX.
