Resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer: molecular mechanisms and future goals
1 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The majority of breast cancers (BCs) are characterized by the expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα+). ERα acts as ligand-dependent transcription factor for genes associated with cell survival, proliferation, and tumor growth. Thus, blocking the estrogen agonist effect on ERα is the main strategy in the treatment of ERα+ BCs. However, despite the development of targeted anti-estrogen therapies...
