Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Exemestane (EXE) is a potent third-generation aromatase inhibitor used as endocrine therapy in breast cancer treatment and prevention. Characterization of its metabolic pathway is incomplete, with ambiguity existing in the identity of enzymes driving the production of its key metabolite, 17β-dihydroexemestane (17β-DHE). The impact of genetic variation on EXE metabolism is also unknown. This study aims...
