Clinical Takeaways
-
Assessing tumour characteristics, including prevalent mutations like ESR1 and PIK3CA, can significantly influence and guide treatment choices in patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer
-
Liquid biopsy, specifically blood-based ctDNA analysis, is the preferred method for detecting ESR1 mutations due to its heightened sensitivity and the avoidance of repeat biopsies at metastatic sites
-
Elacestrant, as the first FDA-approved oral SERD (January 2023), offers a promising choice for select patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer harbouring an ESR1 mutation
-
Oral SERDs are being studied as a monotherapy and in combination with targeted therapies (i.e. CDK4/6, PI3K and AKT inhibitors), offering promising prospects for their integration into clinical practice
