Core Tip
Core Tip: We studied the role of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) polymorphisms in guiding the selection of hormonal agents in women with hormone-responsive breast cancer. The CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizer phenotype was highly prevalent in our women, while the poor metabolizer phenotype was rare. We did not observe any significant association between the CYP2D6 phenotypes and recurrence-free or overall survival in our study, although it could be because most women opted for aromatase inhibitors regardless of CYP2D6 phenotype. There was a non-significant trend towards better survival associated with aromatase inhibitor use over tamoxifen.
