Abstract

Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is a leading cause of mortality for women around the world. The response to hormonotherapy of the patients with HER2-negative/HR-positive mBC is usually limited, and many strategies are in place to contrast the hormonotherapy resistance. Since efficacy and effectiveness of everolimus have been established by many trials, this review is aimed to give a structured synthesis to define the everolimus clinical role among the treatment options for mBC. Key aspects of everolimus dosing and safety profile, drawn up by relevant findings, are included, as well as the role of biomarkers to identify subgroups of mBC patients who may best benefit from everolimus treatment.
