Despite the positive clinical impact of these interventions, de novo and acquired resistance limits the therapeutic lifespan of these classes of drugs. Considering what is known about the complex mechanisms that contribute to the development of resistance it is likely that further development of ER-modulators will yield only incremental improvements. Thus, with the view that resistance is inevitable, we undertook the development of a new approach to treat ER-positive breast cancer by identifying and exploiting targetable vulnerabilities that emerge in endocrine therapy resistant disease. Genomic discovery platforms, including DNASeq, ChIPSeq and RNASeq were used to assess the epigenome, targeting global transcription factor binding profile, ...
