Most estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers can be classified as luminal A or luminal B subtype. It has been estimated that 1 in 4 patients with ER-positive breast cancer will develop disseminated disease and experience disease-related mortality. While it has been suggested that as many as 1 in 4...

Several late-stage cancers have been shown to acquire genomic alterations during disease evolution. In patients with breast cancer, 20% of metastatic tumors develop ESR1 mutations during endocrine therapy. However, the full spectrum of possible genomic alterations in metastatic breast cancer has not been described. In this study, the tumors...

1. Elevated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) prior to or following the first round of chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer suggested a poor prognosis.
2. Early switch to alternative chemotherapy regimens did not improve progression-free or overall survival among patients with elevated CTCs.
