Abstract
- The article discusses following the cardiovascular disease paradigm in which interventions are targeted according to the estimated risk of disease development as opposed to applying a one size fits all approach to breast cancer chemoprevention. Tamoxifen and raloxifene have been shown to reduce the incidence of invasive breast cancer by approximately 50%, but their use has been limited due to concerns over adverse effects. Using epidemiologic risk models is suggested to estimate breast cancer risk.
