Neomorphic ER α Mutations Drive Progression in Breast Cancer and Present a Challenge for New Drug Discovery

Publication date: 12 February 2018 Source:Cancer Cell, Volume 33, Issue 2 Author(s): Donald P. McDonnell, John D. Norris, Ching-yi Chang In this issue of Cancer Cell, Jeselsohn et al. dissect the function of several of the most clinically important estrogen receptor alpha mutants associated with endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer and demonstrate that they manifest disease-relevant neomorphic activities that likely contribute to tumor pathogenesis.
