Could a hot flash drug also shield against breast cancer?

NCT ID NCT04821375

Summary

This small, early study tested whether a 6-month course of a drug combination (bazedoxifene plus estrogen), already approved for hot flashes, could change breast tissue in a way that might lower cancer risk. It involved 16 women experiencing menopause symptoms who were already at higher risk for breast cancer. Researchers used breast MRIs and mammograms to look for changes in tissue density and activity after treatment.
