Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Aromatase inhibitors (AI) plus CDK4/6 inhibitors are the current first-line standard-of-care for hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). However, mutations in ESR1 (ESR1m), the gene encoding the estrogen receptor, can drive resistance to AI; their detection in circulating tumor DNA from liquid biopsies may be used to guide treatment. AREAS COVERED: A literature...
