Title: Treatment and prevention of benign breast disease with 4-hydroxy tamoxifen
Inventor: NESTOUR ELISABETH LE
IPC: A61P5/32
Filed: 2005-03-10
Granted: 2010-08-19
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating and preventing benign breast disease by administering 4-hydroxy tamoxifen to a patient.
