Abstract
Aim: This study tested for associations between SLCO1B1 polymorphisms and circulating estrogen levels in women with breast cancer treated with letrozole or exemestane. Patients & methods: Postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer were genotyped for SLCO1B1*5 (rs4149056) and rs10841753. Pretreatment and on-treatment plasma estrogens and aromatase inhibitor (AI) concentrations were measured. Regression analyses were performed to test for pharmacogenetic associations with estrogens and drug concentrations.Entities:
