Tendon rupture is more commonly associated with certain antibiotics and corticosteroids, not typically with estrogen blockers. C. Photosensitivity is not a common side effect associated with estrogen blockers; it is more related to specific antibiotics or other medications. D. While some malignancies can be linked to immunosuppressive therapies, the direct risk of lymphomas is not typically associated with estrogen blockers.
