ESR1 ligand-binding domain mutations in hormone-resistant breast cancer

TL;DR: A comprehensive genetic analysis of two independent cohorts of metastatic ER-positive breast tumors and identified mutations in ESR1 affecting the ligand-binding domain (LBD) in 14 of 80 cases that implicate LBD-mutant forms of ER in mediating clinical resistance to hormonal therapy and suggest that more potent ER antagonists may be of substantial therapeutic benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Pathways: HER3 Targeted Therapy

TL;DR: The basis for HER3 activation in cancer, the different pharmacologic strategies being used, and opportunities for further development are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

KMT2C mediates the estrogen dependence of breast cancer through regulation of ERα enhancer function.

TL;DR: KMT2C is a key regulator of ERα activity whose loss uncouples breast cancer proliferation from hormone abundance, and from a therapeutic standpoint, KMT-depleted cells that develop hormone-independence retain their dependence on ERα, displaying ongoing sensitivity to ERα antagonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation analysis to assess surrogate endpoints for overall survival (OS) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated PFS and additional surrogate endpoints for their correlation with OS in localized and advanced TNBC and found that PFS is significantly correlated with OS across diverse therapies.
