Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PI3K pathway hyperactivation due to PIK3CA mutations contributes to endocrine resistance, and PIK3CA is one of the most frequently mutated genes in breast cancer (BC), occurring approximately 40 % of HR+, HER2- advanced BC (ABC). Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have changed the treatment landscape of HR+, HER2- ABC. Putative mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6i have been...
