This review illustrates the possible role of as add-on therapy breast cancer patients maintained on tamoxifen. The objectives carnitine treatment are diverse: improving tamoxifen-related side effects, offering better prognosis by reducing risk developing recurrence or metastasis, modulating growth factors which may be, in part, prospective illustration overcome tamoxifen resistance. So, it could recommended supplement starting treatment.
