Breast cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by diverse subtypes. Currently, the classification of breast cancer is based on the status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). In addition to these receptors, the presence of the androgen receptor (AR) in breast cancer cells adds a layer of complexity to our understanding of the disease. The role of AR in breast cancer is intricate, as it can alter diverse signaling pathways in the presence of different hormone receptors (HRs). This complex interplay between signaling pathways affects patient outcomes and prognosis, and the presence of AR has a significant effect. While AR positivity is common in breast cancer, the efficacy of utilizing AR blockade as a monotherapy has been limited, demonstrating only modest results. To address this challenge, substantial efforts have been directed toward comprehending the intricacies of AR's role and pathways in breast cancer development in the hope of understanding its utility as a biomarker or drug target. Multiple ongoing clinical trials are currently investigating combination treatments involving AR inhibitors and other agents to disrupt oncogenic signaling pathways and their crosstalk. Particularly in the context of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), where targeted therapeutic options are lacking, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to exploring the potential of AR-related interventions. This review aims to provide an overview of the various breast cancer subtypes with AR signaling mechanisms, and ongoing clinical trials that hold the potential to reshape future clinical approaches.
