Therefore, the present systematic review aims to investigate miRNAs that significantly influence the response to tamoxifen treatment. The present study follows the PRISMA instructions. The Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched to retrieve English articles. The searches were conducted up to September 11, 2022. The search strategy included the terms “Tamoxifen”, “Breast Neoplasm”, and “MicroRNA”. The inclusion criteria of this study are English, original, and experimental studies investigating miRNAs that are effective in the treatment efficacy of tamoxifen. A total of 565 articles were retrieved. After screening, 75 studies met our inclusion criteria. This systematic review study examined 105 miRNAs, of which 44 have a positive effect, and 47 miRNAs inhibit tamoxifen function. Fourteen miRNAs have a controversial effect, ie, some studies show positive and negative effects. The study of miRNAs affecting tamoxifen function in breast cancer patients may facilitate the identification of individuals at higher risk of disease recurrence.
