The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in 13-22% of breast cancers (BC). Approximately 60-70% of HER2+ BC co-express hormone receptors (HRs). HR/HER2 co-expression modulates response to both anti-HER2-directed and endocrine therapy due to "crosstalk" between the estrogen receptor (ER) and HER2 pathways. Combined HER2/ER blockade may be an effective treatment strategy for patients with HR+/HER2+ BC in the appropriate clinical setting(s). In this review, we provide an ...[more]
