Neurol 63:1230-1233, Bushnell,C.D. &Goldstein,L.B., 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Women with breast cancer who were treated with tamoxifen had an 82% increased risk of ischemic stroke and a 29% increased risk of any stroke, but the absolute risk is small. Further studies assessing prespecified cerebrovascular outcomes are ongoing and will further clarify the risk of stroke associated with tamoxifen use.
