Effect of tamoxifen with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog on DXA values in women with breast cancer

Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in DXA values including trabecular bone score (TBS) and bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (LS) and femur according to the hormone therapies including tamoxifen (TMXF) treatment with or without gonadotropin releasing hormone analo...
