Letrozole Metabolic Monitoring

Meaning

Letrozole Metabolic Monitoring is the clinical practice of systematically assessing and tracking the metabolic and hormonal side effects in patients receiving Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor medication. This essential monitoring includes regular checks of lipid profiles, bone mineral density (BMD), and glucose homeostasis, as Letrozole’s mechanism of action can inadvertently induce adverse metabolic shifts. The goal is to proactively manage potential risks such as increased cholesterol, accelerated bone loss, and insulin resistance. This ensures the long-term safety and quality of life for the patient while maintaining the therapeutic benefit.
