title = "Effects of SLCO1B1 polymorphisms on plasma estrogen concentrations in women with breast cancer receiving aromatase inhibitors exemestane and letrozole",
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. Results: SLCO1B1∗5 was associated with elevated pretreatment estrone sulfate and an increased risk of detectable estrone concentrations after 3 months of AI treatment. Conclusion: These findings suggest SLCO1B1 polymorphisms may have an effect on estrogenic response to AI treatment, and therefore may adversely impact the anticancer effectiveness of these agents.",
