Abstract excerpt
The acquisition of mutations in the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) gene (ESR1) is a key driver in the development of resistance to current endocrine therapy in breast cancer. Clinical studies have shown that ESR1 mutations are frequently observed in patients with metastatic ER-positive breast cancer and are associated with poor survival. Activating ESR1 somatic mutations, particularly Y537S and D538G, drive...
