Abstract excerpt
Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitors have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for estrogen receptor (ERα)-positive breast cancers. However, incipient resistance limits the clinical benefit. Toska and colleagues identified that the epigenetic regulator KMT2D enhances ERα activity in BYL719-treated PIK3CA mutant breast cancer, leading to a rationale for targeting the epigenome and PI3K signaling.
