Predicting Resistance to the Breast Cancer Drug Tamoxifen
ROCKVILLE, MD - June 10, 2004 - The drug tamoxifen is widely used to treat certain breast tumors and to prevent their recurrence. However, half of all recurrences in breast cancer patients are resistant to the drug and often more aggressive tumors result. Now two new studies suggest tests to predict who will benefit from tamoxifen and also explain why the drug so often fails.

A simple measurement of the expression levels of two genes in breast cancer
tissue appears to identify tumors that are more likely to recur in women
treated with tamoxifen for early-stage disease. Determining patients for whom
tamoxifen treatment is likely to fail would allow earlier use of other therapies
that could be more effective for those women.
