To better understand the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis induced in uterine endometrium by therapeutic anti-estrogenic Tamoxifen (TAM) exposure, 27 uterine tumors (4 benign endometrial polyps and 23 carcinomas) associated with TAM exposure were analyzed for the presence and spectrum of p53 and K-ras mutations. Although there was no significant difference between TAM-associated endometrial carcinomas and...
