Abstract

Estrogen receptors (ER) are predictive of endocrine responsiveness. However, 30% of ER+ BC patients will relapse despite adjuvant ET and 10 to 20% of metastatic lesions loose the expression of ER. The early identification of endocrine resistant patients may help to improve treatment strategies, especially in the light of innovative drugs recently approved. In the ET-FES trial we evaluated 18F-FES CT/PET as a prediction tool for endocrine responsiveness in ER+ MBC. The ET-FES study was funded by the ERANET-Transcan project.
