    SymptomManagement

    ü Women with breast cancer have many adverse symptoms, of which some are specific to premenopausal patients

    ü Hot flushes: non-hormonal drugs, such as antidepressants and anti-seizure compounds

    ü Vaginal dryness and dyspareunia-Non-estrogenic vaginal lubricants

    ü Cancer-related fatigue- exercise

    BreastCancerandDepression:TamoxifenandAntidepressantsviaCytochromeP4502D6

    ü Women taking tamoxifen for the treatment or prevention of recurrence of breast cancer are likely to take antidepressants either for a psychiatric disorder or for hot flashes

    ü Some antidepressants inhibit the metabolism of tamoxifen to its more active metabolites by the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme, thereby decreasing the anticancer effect
