Material from an the April 2000 National Institutes of Health (NIH) workshop held in Bethesda, Maryland, examines the role of the estrogen receptor in physiologic and pathologic processes involving multiple organ systems, discusses the potential for continued development of pharmacologic approaches to the selective modification of estrogen receptor action in the prevention and treatment of diseases, and identifies research gaps and outlines an agenda for future research. Work presented ranges from basic science to clinical trials. Papers are arranged in sections on the basic biology of SERMs, cancer treatment and prevention, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cognitive function, reproductive and related endocrine considerations, the benefit/risk ration, and SERM development in industry, academia, the NIH, and the FDA.
