Medical Definition of Selective oestrogen-receptor modulator

1. An antioestrogen which possesses some, but not all, of the actions of oestrogen. For example, raloxifene (evista) is classified as a SERM because it prevents bone loss (like oestrogen) and lowers serum cholesterol (like oestrogen) but (unlike oestrogen) does not stimulate the endometrial lining of the uterus. Acronym: SERM (17 Jul 2002)
