Abstract
The idea that tamoxifen could encourage the growth of pre-existing end ometrial cancer caused an increase in the screening and subsequent det ection of endometrial cancer in tamoxifen-treated patients. These data are biased because controls were not screened. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scie nce Ltd. All rights reserved.
