BREAST CANCER

For women treated with tamoxifen, Pillcheck can help to identify whether a dose increase is warranted for women with reduced CYP2D6 function or if a switch to aromatase inhibitors is needed for women with absent CYP2D6 function. Pillcheck can also identify whether the use of tamoxifen poses a higher risk of thrombosis and stroke for women carrying mutations in F2 or F5 genes as per the FDA drug warning label.
