Prescribing of tamoxifen by all Sub-ICB Locations
Why it matters: Alongside its use as a cancer treatment, in 2013 NICE recommended that tamoxifen should also be prescribed for chemoprevention of breast cancer for pre-menopausal women at increased risk. Improving the use of preventative therapies was also reiterated in England's Cancer Strategy for 2015-2020. This measure accompanies our paper investigating the national response to these guidelines, published in the British Journal of Cancer.
Description: Number of Average Daily Quantities (ADQs) for tamoxifen (20mg/day) per 1000 female population aged 35-74.
