Prognostic significance of early on-treatment evolution of circulating tumor DNA in advanced ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer

Annals of Oncology | |

Patients with advanced estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer commonly develop resistance to treatment with hormone therapy and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors. Responders cannot be distinguished from nonresponders after the first cycle of treatment under current practice. We assessed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) measures at early timepoints as prognostic markers.
