摘要: Endocrine therapy has been the most effective treatment modality for hormone receptor positive breast cancer. However, its efficacy limited by either de novo or acquired resistance. Recent data indicates that activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling is associated with poor outcome luminal B subtype cancer and accompanied development endocrine Importantly, inhibition PI3K pathway in resistant cell lines reduces survival improves response to agents. Interestingly, mutations PIK3CA, alpha catalytic subunit class IA PI3K, which renders cells dependent on signaling, common genetic abnormality identified The synthetic lethality observed between estrogen deprivation (ER+) provides further scientific rational target both order improve ER+
