18th Annual Perspectives in Breast Cancer Growth Factor Pathways in Hormone Resistant Breast Cancer Christy A Russell, MD Fight On!

Tumors Classified as ER+ Have Varied Receptor Expression Profiles ASCO/CAP recommends that a tumor specimen be considered ER+ if >1% of tumor cells test positive for ER. Breast cancer classified as ER+ is a heterogeneous disease, based on varying ER expression level PR status HER2 status BC with strong ER expression are biologically distinct from those with weak ER expression

Hormone Receptor Positive, Advanced Breast Cancer Unmet Need With initial hormone therapy of advanced breast cancer: About 30% will have clinical response (PR, CR) About 50% will have clinical benefit (no progression for 24 weeks) However, almost all will develop resistance and ultimately have disease progression

Endocrine Resistance and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway Evidence suggests that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway becomes activated in hormone resistant breast cancer This pathway allows cells to survive despite concurrent endocrine therapy Targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway could provide benefit in metastatic breast cancer that is becoming resistant to the current endocrine therapy Johnston, S.

[TITLE]

Conclusions The effectiveness of ET is limited by high rates of de novo and acquired endocrine resistance. Resistance to ET is a step-wise progression of BC cells that renders them estrogen-independent Bidirectional crosstalk between the ER and growth factor receptor signaling pathways, such as the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, is implicated in resistance to ET Under the pressure of ET, dynamic interplay between ER and growth factor receptor expression exists that can alter BC cell phenotype Overcoming endocrine resistance remains critical to enhancing further the benefit of existing endocrine therapies.
