Fig. 2From: Serum concentrations of active tamoxifen metabolites predict long-term survival in adjuvantly treated breast cancer patientsZ4OHtam and Z-endoxifen concentrations compared by CYP2D6 phenotype groups. Impaired CYP2D6 function correlates with lower levels of Z-4OHtam and Z-endoxifen (p = 0.05 and p <0.001, respectively; Kruskal-Wallis). Cut-off values representing patients with high levels (green line) and low levels (red line) of active metabolites are shown.
