Abstract: Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is widely used in the breast cancer therapy. However, significant individual differences of CPA in the pharmacokinetics, adverse reactions and efficacy have been observed, which made it difficult to decide a suitable dose in clinic. Previous clinical investigation indicated that functional genetic variation of metabolic enzymes of CPA played important roles in the metabolisms, adverse reactions and clinical efficacy of CPA. This paper reviews the recent clinical research advances about pharmacogenomics of CPA in the breast cancer therapy.

Key words: cyclophosphamide, breast cancer, pharmacogenomics, drug metabolized enzymes, chemotherapy
