Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The growth inhibitory effect of tamoxifen, which is used for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, is mediated by its metabolites, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and endoxifen. The formation of active metabolites is catalyzed by the polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether CYP2D6 variation is associated with clinical outcomes in women receiving adjuvant...
