Effects of selective estrogen receptor modulators on lipid metabolism in patients with breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) have certain effects on lipid metabolism; however, the results of various studies remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to summarize the existing evidence from cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of SERM treatment on lipid metabolism in breast cancer patients.
