Predicting Resistance to the Breast Cancer Drug Tamoxifen

ROCKVILLE, MD - June 10, 2004 - The drug tamoxifen is widely used to treat certain breast tumors and to prevent their recurrence. However, half of all recurrences in breast cancer patients are resistant to the drug and often more aggressive tumors result. Now two new studies suggest tests to predict who will benefit from tamoxifen and also explain why the drug so often fails. More>>

Gene expression ratio identifies risk of recurrence in breast cancer patients receiving tamoxifen Research from MGH, Arcturus could indicate which patients need alternative treatment
Research from MGH, Arcturus could indicate which patients need alternative treatment

BOSTON, MA - June 3, 2004 - A simple measurement of the expression levels of two genes in breast cancer tissue appears to identify tumors that are more likely to recur in women treated with tamoxifen for early-stage disease. Determining patients for whom tamoxifen treatment is likely to fail would allow earlier use of other therapies that could be more effective for those women. More>>
