Abstract:Our present work offers a new means by which cancer cells become resistant to anti-cancer treatments and mechanism-driven approaches for overcoming such resistance. Specifically, here we demonstrate a previously unrecognized mechanism of tamoxifen (TMX) resistance distinct from loss of estrogen receptor on basal-like (triple negative) breast cancer cells, which are among the most challenging tumors to treat with current therapies. Our present finding emerged from trying to understand the puzzling differences i… Show more
