Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. There is a relationship between genetically distinct metabolic profiles of tamoxifen and the frequency and severity of hot flashes in women on chronic tamoxifen therapy.
2. Genetically distinct metabolic profiles for tamoxifen effect lipid profile, bone turnover metabolites and bone mineral density, and coagulation factors.
3. Different genetic profiles of estrogen responsive genes influence the pharmacodynamic effects of tamoxifen in cardiovascular system.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Women with a prior breast cancer or who are at a high risk for developing the disease and about to start tamoxifen therapy.
3. Participants must not be treated with concomitant chemotherapy or hormone therapy other than tamoxifen. They must not have ovarian ablation or currently being treated with radiation therapy and/or chronic corticosteroids.
4. The participant must not be taking anti-hot flash therapy (clonidine, bellergal, megestrol acetate). Vitamin E, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or herbal remedies are allowed provided that the participant has been taking the remedy for at least 4 weeks and intends to continue the remedy for at least the first month while on the study, and allows for one-month follow up evaluation (hot flash diaries and blood samples).
5. The participant must not be pregnant or lactating.
6. The participant is able and willing to sign an informed consent.
