Around 75% of breast tumours express estrogen receptor (ER+). Endocrine therapy (ET) is a cornerstone in the treatment of both early and metastatic disease, but its effectiveness is limited by the developing of acquired resistance and more rarely by de novo resistance. Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to ET represents a challenge. Recently acquired mutations in ESR1, have been associated with resistance to aromatase inhibitor (Ai) therapy in hormone-refractory metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Abstract
Around 75% of breast tumours express estrogen receptor (ER+). Endocrine therapy (ET) is a cornerstone in the treatment of both early and metastatic disease, but its effectiveness is limited by the developing of acquired resistance and more rarely by de novo resistance. Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to ET represents a challenge. Recently acquired mutations in ESR1, have been associated with resistance to aromatase inhibitor (Ai) therapy in hormone-refractory metastatic breast cancer (MBC).File in questo prodotto:
