Research Article: RET inhibition overcomes resistance to combined CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy in ER+ breast cancer
Abstract:
Background: Combined CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy significantly improve the outcome of patients with advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, resistance to this treatment and disease progression remains a major clinical challenge. High expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase REarranged during Transfection (RET) has been associated with resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer, but the role of RET in CDK4/6i treatment response/resistance remains unexplored.
