Abstract excerpt
Endocrine resistance is a complex phenomenon, including alterations of the ESR1 gene. The aim of this study was to simultaneously analyze ESR1 promoter methylation and ESR1 hotspot mutations in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and paired plasma-circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) advanced breast cancer (BC). We retrospectively analyzed samples from 42 ER+ advanced BC...
