Development and validation of an integrated testing strategy for simultaneous detection of ESR-1 and gBRCA mutations via liquid biopsy in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients, and the creation of a digital gene library to support an evidence-based diagnostic algorithm
Full description
Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of tumor and the primary cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally (1). Approximately two-thirds of these tumors express hormone receptors (HR) and lack HER2 overexpression and/or amplification (2). Throughout treatment, resistance frequently develops, with underlying mechanisms that remain largely undefined (3).

Inclusion criteria
Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and/or progesterone receptor-positive (PgR+) breast cancer through histological and/or cytological examination by the local laboratory Participants must exhibit HER2-negative breast cancer
or 2+). If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), or Silver-enhanced in situ hybridization (SISH)) test is required by local laboratory testing.
