Describes the hormone estrogen and its
receptor. Explains the relationship of estrogen
and its receptor to breast cancer and the risks
and benefits of reducing cancer risk with
drugs called antiestrogens and selective
estrogen receptor molecules (SERMs).

10. Cancer Arises From
DNA Mutations in Cells
Last DNA mutation from:
• heredity
or
• radiation or chemicals
or
• spontaneous errors
during DNA duplication
DNA mutations
Normal cell Uncontrolled proliferation
13. Estrogen and Uterine Cancer
2. Estrogen can increase the
chances of developing new,
spontaneous mutations.
Estrogen action on the uterus

1. Estrogen can stimulate
the division of existing
mutant uterine cells.

21. The Need for Better SERMs
Bad effects
• Increases uterine cancer risk
• Increases blood clot risk
Tamoxifen
Good effects
• Reduces breast cancer risk
• Lowers LDL cholesterol
• Strengthens bones
22. Estrogen Replacement
During Menopause
Good effects
• Strengthens bones
• Lowers LDL cholesterol
• Raises HDL cholesterol
• Reduces menopausal
symptoms (e.g., hot flashes)
Estrogen
Bad effects
• Increases breast cancer risk
• Increases uterine cancer risk
• Increases blood clot risk
23. Estrogen Plus
Progesterone Replacement
Bad effects
• Increases invasive breast
cancer risk
• Increases heart attacks
• Increases strokes
• Increases blood clots
Estrogen plus Progesterone reported effects
Good effects
• Strengthens bones
• Decreases colon
cancer risk
• Reduces menopausal
symptoms (e.g., hot
flashes)
24. Search for the Perfect SERM
The “ideal” SERM would:
• Strengthen bones
• Lower LDL cholesterol and
raise HDL cholesterol
• Relieve hot flashes
• Reduce breast cancer risk
• Reduce uterine cancer risk
26. Raloxifene and
Risk of Invasive Breast Cancer
Raloxifene
Bad effects
• No relief for hot flashes
• No reduction of LCIS
• No reduction of DCIS
Good effects
• Strengthens bones
• Lowers LDL cholesterol
• Reduces risk for
invasive breast cancer
• Fewer uterine cancers
than tamoxifen
• Fewer blood clots than
tamoxifen
