About

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the side effects(especially arthralgia and arthritis) which appear in the patients who are prescribed aromatase inhibitor(AI) and the CYP19 genetic polymorphisms.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 to 80 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. The patient must sign the informed consent.
2. The patient must sign the informed consent of genetic screening test.
3. The patient must be between 18 years old and 80 years old who can make a decision independently.
4. The patient must be post-menopause status.
5. The patient should be the stage 1,2 or 3 of the breast cancer.
6. The test result of the estrogen receptor or progesterone receptor is positive, so the patient should be taking the medication of AI (Aromatase Inhibitor).

Exclusion criteria

1. The patient is pre-menopause status.
2. The test result of serum FSH level is below 30mU/ml.
3. The test result of the hormone receptor(ER & PR) is negative or unknown.
