Systemic treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer is undergoing a renaissance, with a number of targeted therapies including CDK4/6, mTOR, and PI3K inhibitors now approved for use in combination with endocrine therapies. The increased use of targeted therapies has changed the natural history of HR+ breast cancers, with the emergence of new escape mechanisms leading to the inevitable progression of disease in patients with advanced cancers. The identification of new predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers to current standard-of-care therapies and discovery of new therapies is an evolving and urgent clinical challenge in this setting. While traditional, routinely measured biomarkers such as estrogen receptors (ERs), progesterone receptors (PRs), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) still represent the best prognostic and predictive biomarkers for HR+ breast cancer, a significant proportion of patients either do not respond to endocrine therapy or develop endocrine resistant disease. Genomic tests have emerged as a useful adjunct prognostication tool and guide the addition of chemotherapy to endocrine therapy. In the treatment-resistant setting, mutational profiling has been used to identify , , and mutations as predictive molecular biomarkers to newer therapies. Additionally, pharmacodynamic biomarkers are being increasingly used and considered in the metastatic setting. In this review, we summarise the current state-of-the-art therapies; prognostic, predictive, and pharmacodynamic molecular biomarkers; and how these are impacted by emerging therapies for HR+ breast cancer.
激素受体阳性(HR+)乳腺癌的系统治疗正在复兴,许多靶向治疗药物,包括 CDK4/6、mTOR 和 PI3K 抑制剂,现已获准与内分泌治疗联合使用。靶向治疗的广泛应用改变了 HR+乳腺癌的自然病程,新的逃逸机制的出现导致晚期癌症患者的疾病不可避免地进展。在这种情况下,确定新的预测性和药效动力学生物标志物以替代当前的标准治疗方案,并发现新的治疗方法,是一个不断发展且紧迫的临床挑战。虽然传统的、常规测量的生物标志物,如雌激素受体(ERs)、孕激素受体(PRs)和人表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)仍然是 HR+乳腺癌的最佳预后和预测性生物标志物,但相当一部分患者对内分泌治疗无反应或发展为内分泌耐药疾病。基因组检测已成为一种有用的辅助预后工具,并指导将化疗与内分泌治疗联合应用。在治疗耐药的情况下,突变分析已被用于识别、和 突变作为预测性分子生物标志物,以指导使用新的治疗方法。此外,药效动力学生物标志物在转移性疾病中也越来越多地被使用和考虑。在这篇综述中,我们总结了 HR+乳腺癌的当前最新治疗方法、预后、预测和药效动力学分子生物标志物,以及这些标志物如何受到新兴治疗方法的影响。
