Excerpt
The ability of a tumour to adapt and overcome targeted therapies has been recognised clinically for some time, but the molecular mechanisms driving this metamorphosis remain unclear. The steroid receptor coactivator protein, SRC-1, is a strong predictor of reduced disease-free survival in breast cancer patients. SRC-1 can also interact with nonsteroidal transcription factors, and defining these new transcriptional networks will uncover fresh strategies for managing endocrine resistance. …
