Tamoxifen is a pioneering medicine for the treatment and prevention
of breast cancer. It is the first drug targeted therapy in cancer
to be successful. Tamoxifen targets the tumor estrogen receptor.
The therapy is known to have saved the lives of millions of women
over the past 40 years. This monograph, written by V. Craig Jordan
- known as the "father of tamoxifen" - and his Tamoxifen Team at
the Georgetown University Washington DC, illustrates the journey of
this milestone in medicine. It includes a personal interview with
V. Craig Jordan about his four decades of discovery in breast
cancer research and treatment. V. Craig Jordan was there for the
birth of tamoxifen as he is credited for reinventing a "failed
morning after contraceptive" to become the "gold standard" for the
treatment of breast cancer. He contributed to every aspect of
tamoxifen application in therapeutics and all aspects of
tamoxifen's pharmacology. He discovered the selective estrogen
receptor modulators (SERMs) and explored the new biology of
estrogen-induced apoptosis.
