Read moreThe influence of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism on tamoxifen and its active metabolite exposure in breast cancer patients: preliminary results from a prospective, open-label trial.
Objectives: Tamoxifen (Tam) treated patients with null or reduced CYP2D6 activity display low endoxifen exposure and thus might experience lower…
Read morePopulation Pharmacokinetics of Tamoxifen and three of its metabolites in Breast Cancer patients
Objectives: Tamoxifen (Tam) is a pro-drug metabolized to endoxifen and other active metabolites through cytochromes (CYP) 2D6 and 3A4 pathways. Patients…
