Tamoxifen is a standard treatment for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, reducing recurrence risk by 40% and mortality by 30%.
Weight gain during tamoxifen therapy affects 39% to 61% of women, with significant increases noted in those with lower initial fat mass.
Tamoxifen may disrupt appetite regulation and lipid metabolism, contributing to weight gain and increased fat storage.
Guidelines recommend lifestyle interventions for weight management in cancer survivors, with pharmacologic options for those with higher BMI.
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and liraglutide can aid weight loss, but may exacerbate gastrointestinal symptoms associated with tamoxifen.
