Liver tumors related to actenol and/or evista07/05/2006 |
My wife is 53 and takes both actenol and evista. She has been diagnosed with an undertermined type of liver tumor. She has had 2 ct scans, nuclear scan and a mri scan which all have been unable to indentify it as a known benign tumor. Our next step is to perform a needle biopsy to identify it. We have heard unconfirmed reports that either of these drugs or a combination of these drugs can cause liver tumors. Is there any merit to these allegations?
I am unaware of any association of either drug with liver tumors.
