ESR1 fusions drive endocrine therapy resistance and metastasis in breast cancer

Estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) fusion transcripts have been identified in breast cancer but their role in breast cancer is not completely understood. Here, we report a causal role for ESR1 fusions in driving both endocrine therapy resistance and metastasis, and describe a therapeutic strategy t...

description Estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) fusion transcripts have been identified in breast cancer but their role in breast cancer is not completely understood. Here, we report a causal role for ESR1 fusions in driving both endocrine therapy resistance and metastasis, and describe a therapeutic strategy to target ESR1 fusion-induced growth.
