Antidepressants and the Risk of Breast Cancer
Abstract
BACKGROUND: A recent national newspaper article highlighted 2 published research papers that suggest an association between antidepressants and an increased risk of breast cancer. The authors of the 2 papers recommend switching or avoiding the antidepressants implicated in their studies.
METHOD: We critically review these papers and, based on our review, consider what clinical practices, if any, should be modified as a result of their findings.
