In hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, co-occurring ESR1 and PIK3CA mutations create therapeutic complexity. Oral SERDs, including elacestrant, retain activity despite PIK3CA co-mutation and may offer an efficacy–toxicity balance compared with PI3K/AKT pathway...
ESR1 mutations are a major mechanism of acquired endocrine resistance in hormone receptor–positive metastatic breast cancer and are associated with poorer outcomes. Serial ctDNA testing enables dynamic detection of emergent ESR1 mutations and clonal evolution, potentially informing treatment...
