Can the hormone drugs taken after breast cancer surgery cause other cancers?

The one drug : Tarnished with the association is tamoxifen and endometrial cancer. The risk is only in women that still have their uterus; the frequency about 1/1000. It is otherwise a very good and successful drug. I still use it. The benefit is high and the risk is quite low.

Not all of them: The word hormone drugs isoften used broadly and includes hormones as well as anti-hormones. So check their name(s) and find out if they in fact are antihormones which are a form of treatment for breast cancer... Which is fed byy estrogens(female hormone).

Hormonal blockade: Depending upon your age and menstrual status your oncologist will help choose a medication to block the receptors for estrogen and Progesterone or one that will block the production of those hormones. These drugs minimize the ability of these hormones to stimulate the growth of breast and breast cancer cells. Some of them are associated with a risk of endometrial cancer but it is minimal.
