New combination therapy for hormone responsive metastatic breast cancer

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, but 70% of cases are characterized by the presence of hormone receptors for estrogen, progesterone, or both. The first line of treatment for these patients, when presenting with metastatic disease, is endocrine therapy in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors, but the majority develops resistance to treatment within two years.

Targeting STAT3 inhibits endocrine resistant stem cells in ER+ breast cancer

Over the last 15 years my research work has been focused in understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern normal and breast cancer stem cells (CSCs). My ultimate goal has always been to translate basic discoveries to clinical applications that can in the long term directly impact on patient care and contribute to a reduction in breast cancer mortality. This work epitomizes this translational research idea because it was pivotal to establishing the grounds for a phase 2 clinical trial on metastatic breast cancer.
