目前的荷尔蒙疗法已经使数百万乳腺癌患者受益。然而,他们的成功往往是暂时的,仅限于肿瘤表达雌激素受体α(ER)的一部分患者。这些疗法对ER阴性的疾病完全无效。最近的研究表明,在乳腺癌的演变过程中,有许多生物学途径和改变参与了决定ER是否表达以及它是如何被调控的。改进荷尔蒙疗法,除了完善目前的策略外,还将针对这些新发现的途径和变化,以及其他尚未发现的途径。本文将简要介绍一些关于乳腺癌演变过程中ER状态和生长调控的重要观察和未回答的问题,希望有助于激发这一医学研究重要领域的新思维和新进展。
Current hormonal therapies have benefited millions of patients with breast cancer. Their success, however, is often temporary and limited to a subset of patients whose tumors express estrogen receptor alpha (ER). The therapies are entirely ineffective in ER-negative disease. Recent studies suggest that there are many biological pathways and alterations involved in determining whether ER is expressed and how it is regulated during breast cancer evolution. Improving hormonal therapies, in addition to perfecting current strategies, will also target these newly discovered pathways and alterations, and others yet to be found. The present commentary will briefly highlight a few important observations and unanswered questions regarding ER status and growth regulation during breast cancer evolution, which hopefully will help to stimulate new thinking and progress in this important area of medial research.
