Correlation Analysis between Tamoxifen and Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Degeneration: A Retrospective Case-Control Study

<div>MRI T2-weighted sagittal images were used to assess the degree of IVDD at the L1/L2–L5/S1 levels by the modified Pfirrmann grading system. (a) The modified Pfirrmann grading scores from L1/2 to L5/S1 were 2, 2, 3, 4, and 4 for a patient in the non-TAM group, respectively. (b) The modified Pfirrmann grading scores from L1/2 to L5/S1 were 2, 4, 4, 4, and 4 for a patient in the TAM group, respectively.</div>
