Improved Prediction of Endoxifen Metabolism by CYP2D6 Genotype in Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Tamoxifen
23 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Prediction of impaired tamoxifen (TAM) to endoxifen metabolism may be relevant to improve breast cancer treatment, e.g. via TAM dose increase. The polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) strongly determines an individual’s capacity for endoxifen formation, however CYP2D6 phenotype assignments inferred from genotype widely differ between studies. Thus, we modeled plasma endoxifen predictability depending...
