Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer

Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is the most common form of breast cancer. Antiestrogens were the first therapy aimed at treating this subtype, but resistance to these warranted the development of a new treatment option. CDK4/6 inhibitors address this problem by halting cell cycle prog...
