We evaluated the clinical significance of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) during fulvestrant therapy for multiple metastatic breast cancer patients. IDO activity can be measured using the tryptophan (Trp)/kynurenine (Kyn) ratio. Trp and Kyn were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The serum Trp/Kyn level in patients with multiple metastatic breast cancer was lower than in patients without metastases. IDO activity increased after breast cancer metastases developed. IDO activity was correlated with the number of metastatic lesions during toremifene and fulvestrant therapy. These results suggested that measurement of the Trp/Kyn ratio is useful to evaluate immunological metastatic status during endocrine therapy.
