Estrogen receptor alpha gene () 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 fusions in driving both endocrine therapy resistance and metastasis, and describe a therapeutic strategy to target fusion-induced growth.
雌激素受体α基因()融合转录本已在乳腺癌中被鉴定出来,但其在乳腺癌中的作用尚未完全明确。在此,我们报告了融合在驱动内分泌治疗耐药性和转移方面的因果作用,并描述了一种针对融合诱导生长的治疗策略。
