Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adjuvant tamoxifen therapy is commonly used in breast cancer treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence. However, it can cause side effects such as weight gain, hot flashes, and blood clots. Vomiting, weight loss, hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are less commonly reported with tamoxifen therapy. Headaches are also a potential side effect but not as common as hot flashes and weight gain.
