Understanding GP attitudes to cancer preventing drugs

This report aims to increase understanding of GP attitudes towards offering cancer preventing drugs and it found that nearly half of GP respondents were unaware of the potential benefits of tamoxifen, a drug that can potentially prevent breast cancer among women with a clear family history of the disease. Despite low levels of awareness, three quarters of respondents were willing to prescribe it but required greater support from specialists in secondary care.ReportSummaryPress release
