Digoxin, a phyto-estrogen, binds with estrogen receptors (ER) and can cause gynecomastia. Among women currently using digoxin, breast and uterus cancer incidences are significantly increased (approximate risk ratios, 1.3-1.5). Both cancers are often estrogen sensitive. In contrast, ovary and cervix
