Genomic hallmarks of endocrine therapy resistance in ER/PR+HER2- breast tumours.

ABSTRACT: ER/PR+HER2- breast tumours are the most predominant subtype of breast cancer worldwide, including India. Unlike TNBCs, these tumours can be treated with anti-estrogens or aromatase inhibitors. Despite the success of endocrine therapy, a fraction of patients with ER/PR+ breast tumours do not respond to hormone-receptor-specific treatment and encounter disease recurrence contributing to their poor survival. The genomic underpinnings of therapy resistance in ER/PR+HER2- breast tumours are incompletely understood. We have performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) from tumour and normal tissue samples from endocrine-therapy resistant ER/PR+HER2- breast cancer patients who have relapsed on endocrine therapy and have conducted a comparative analysis of WGS data generated from tissues of endocrine t
