Background: Tamoxifen (TMX) currently regarded as the standard treatment for breast cancer (BC) patients, however in recent years, several researchers reported gynecological side effects and attributed them to TMX and its estrogenic (ER) effects. We evaluate the side effects of TMX on female endometrium and ovaries. Methods: an ultrasound-based cohort study conducted in three oncology centers. The studied groups included a total of 255 patients, 140 premenopausal (PreM) and 115 postmenopausal (PostM) female patients with ER-positive BC using TMX adjuvant hormonal treatment in a dose of 20 mg/day for at least three months after surgery and adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy. The study conducted at the three main oncology centers in Baghdad. The collected data includes: age of the patient, menopausal status, co-morbid chronic illness such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc, and used medications.
