HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 4 (TNSJou) -- The Baylor College of Medicine issued the following news release:
The combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors with endocrine therapy is the standard of care for patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer. However, a subset of patients will have tumors with intrinsic resistance to this therapy and most patients will develop resistant disease at some point during treatment.
