Breast Cancer: Toremifene is classified as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It works by blocking the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, thereby inhibiting the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells. Toremifene is indicated for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women with estrogen-receptor positive tumors. It may also be used as adjuvant therapy to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence following surgery or other primary treatments.
Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: Toremifene is particularly effective in treating estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, where estrogen promotes the growth of cancer cells. By blocking estrogen receptors in breast tissue, toremifene helps slow down or stop the progression of hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
Metastatic Breast Cancer: Toremifene is used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, where cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body beyond the breast. It may help slow down the progression of the disease and alleviate symptoms associated with advanced breast cancer.
Adjuvant Therapy: Toremifene may be prescribed as adjuvant therapy in combination with other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Adjuvant therapy aims to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and improve long-term outcomes in patients who have undergone primary treatment for breast cancer.
Bone Health: Toremifene has been shown to have beneficial effects on bone health in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. It may help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a common complication of breast cancer treatment and menopause.
Endometrial Cancer: Like other SERMs, toremifene may increase the risk of endometrial cancer or uterine abnormalities in some women. Regular gynecological monitoring is recommended during treatment with toremifene to detect any potential changes in the uterus and endometrium.
Thromboembolic Events: Toremifene, similar to other SERMs, may increase the risk of thromboembolic events such as blood clots in veins (deep vein thrombosis) or arteries (pulmonary embolism). Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of thromboembolism during treatment.
Hot Flashes: Toremifene may cause or exacerbate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. These side effects are often transient and may improve over time or with supportive measures.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
