Research progress of resistance to aromatase inhibitor therapy in breast cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. About 70% of patients are estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive. Endocrine therapy is one of the main treatments for hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer. In recent decades
endocrine therapy drugs have been continuously innovated and applied in clinical practice
the risk of recurrence/metastasis of breast cancer patients has been significantly reduced
and the prognosis has been greatly improved. Among them
aromatase inhibitors (AIs) play an important role in endocrine therapy for breast cancer. However
a large number of patients develop either primary or secondary endocrine therapy drug resistance. Therefore
it is very important to overcome endocrine therapy drug resistance to further improve clinical efficacy. This article reviewed the mechanisms and the latest research progress of drug resistance in HR-positive breast cancer after prior AI therapy from the aspects of genetics
epigenetics and intracellular signal transduction pathways
so as to provide some guidance for clinical diagnosis
