Association between tamoxifen treatment and diabetes: a population-based study.

Current tamoxifen therapy is associated with an increased incidence of diabetes in older breast cancer survivors.

These findings suggest that tamoxifen treatment may exacerbate an underlying risk of diabetes in susceptible women; further studies are needed to better explore this association.
