Letrozole and checking estrogen levels

I too inquired about having a baseline estrogen level before starting AI. I was told by oncologist that it isn’t necessary because the AI result they are looking for can’t be measured. AI blocks estradiol from converting to estrogen. But I still don’t understand why this ( baseline /change) cannot be measured.

I agree! How do they know it works if it can’t it be measured?
