}Purpose: Tamoxifen has been the mainstay adjuvant hormonal treatment for breast cancer for many years. Conversion of tamoxifen to its active metabolite, endoxifen, is reduced by low activity of the cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP2D6. We examined the effect of reduced CYP2D6 activity on the response to tamoxifen in patients with familial early-onset breast cancer. Experimental Design: We conducted a case note review and genotyping for the CYP2D6*3, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*5, and CYP2D6*41 alleles in 115…

CYP2D6 Polymorphisms and Tamoxifen Metabolism: Clinical Relevance

The balance of current evidence strongly suggests that the presence of two wild-type alleles, and possibly one null allele, predicts reduced tamoxifen metabolism and an inferior outcome in postmenopausal women with early breast cancer who receive adjuvant treatment with the drug.

The results show a significant influence of the CYP2D6 genotype on the efficacy of Tam in the treatment of ABC, and the evidence in the palliative setting is congruent.

Emerging data suggest that host factors may also predict interpatient variability in response to aromatase inhibitors, and women who carry one or two variant CYP2D6 alleles that encode enzymes with null or reduced activity may have an inferior breast cancer outcome when treated with tamoxifen in the adjuvant setting.

Because genetically determined, impaired tamoxifen metabolism results in worse treatment outcomes, genotyping for CYP2D6 alleles *4, *5, *10, and *41 can identify patients who will have little benefit from adjuvant tamoxIFen therapy.

In tamoxifen-treated patients, women with the CYP2D6 *4/*4 genotype tend to have a higher risk of disease relapse and a lower incidence of hot flashes, which is consistent with the previous observation that CYP3A5*3 variant was not associated with any of these clinical outcomes.

It is suggested that the higher rate of tamoxifen nonpersistence noted in patients prescribed antidepressants may result from the CYP2D6-mediated inhibition of tamxifen metabolism, thereby increasing the risk of breast cancer recurrence.

Sulfation of 4-OH TAM provides a previously unanticipated benefit, possibly due to alterations in the bioavailability of the active metabolite or to undefined estrogen receptor-mediated events, and is suggested to affect the efficacy of tamoxifen therapy.

In postmenopausal women with endocrine-responsive breast cancer, adjuvant treatment with letrozole, as compared with tamoxifen, reduced the risk of recurrent disease, especially at distant sites.

Raloxifene is as effective as tamoxifen in reducing the risk of invasive breast cancer and has a lower risk of thromboembolic events and cataracts but a nonstatistically significant higher risk of noninvasive breast cancer.

The prophylactic effect of tamoxifen was fairly constant for the entire follow-up period, and no diminution of benefit was observed for up to 10 years after randomization, but side effects in the tamoxIFen group were much lower after completion of the active treatment period than during active treatment.
