CDC20 expression in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer predicts poor prognosis and lack of response to endocrine therapy (2019)
Journal Article
Alfarsi, L., Ansari, R. E., Craze, M. L., Toss, M. S., Masisi, B., Ellis, I. O., …Green, A. R. (2019). CDC20 expression in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer predicts poor prognosis and lack of response to endocrine therapy. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 178(3), 535-544. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-019-05420-8

Purpose Endocrine therapy is the standard treatment for oestrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Despite its efficacy, around half of patients will develop resistance to this treatment and eventually relapse. Identification of effective and...
